Anyone still running open source firmware? I gave up and cried when I noticed the version of Tomato I was using had been unmaintained for several years, and couldn't find any reasonable way to replace my router or my firmware that satisfied the matrix of router-to-firmware compatibility. My router kept crashing, and I noticed the unmaintained-ness of the firmware while trying to diagnose it. Eventually it seemed like the hardware was bad. Since then I have been using one I found in the trash at the hacker space; seems pretty legit.
I'm starting to think there's no momentum/incentive for anyone with adequate resources to maintain decent open firmware that works on many devices. This is sad, because the vendors don't seem to show any sign of starting to give a shit about maintainance. So now what?
