Interesting OpenWRT project – “The approach of the Green-WiFi project is to use software, hardware, and components easily available and low cost, but assembled and compiled to make smart use of technology.

The unit powered by a Shell solar panel. Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless grid router: OpenWRT-based WGRT634U 802.11b/g router – Netgear, Linux 2.6 kernel, madwifi-ng driver, OpenWRT ipkg support” [via] – Link.
