Flashing of a LaFonera

To upgrade the DD-WRT firmware on your Fonera, follow the Upgrade Flashing guide.
Building DD-WRT for the LaFonera from Source
Downloading the sources via SVN
svn co svn://svn.dd-wrt.com/DD-WRT DD-WRT will download the complete source-files in a directory called DD-WRT.
Please note that this is a very large download, so be prepared that it might take a while.
Compiling
the makefile you need for this task is src/router/Makefile.ar531x which simply can be called by make -f Makefile.ar531x all the sources should be within the svn, but i was not able yet to check if everything is compileable. if a third party is able to test this i will give him advices if he has troubles. (the last time this worked good together with "Tornado")
Update: When trying to compile using that makefile, the following is returned,
total@C-Dog:~/DD-WRT$ make -f Makefile.ar531x
make: Makefile.ar531x: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.ar531x'. Stop.

- (Kilhak| Remember that the Fonera has only 138MHz and 16MBRAM!)
- LaFonera Software Chilispot (to be tested)
- Can someone compile a version with DD-WRTs VoIP support SIP Express Router SER?
- (Kilhak| Remember that the Fonera has only 138MHz and 16MBRAM!)
- Enable SIP Express Router or Milkfish.org support (OpenWrt edition), so each LaFonera can switch SIP phone calls.
