It's a UFS, compressed on the flash. But uzip is read-only, and doing lots of modifications to a cheap NOR flash is not likely a smart move. You can attach an FFS formatted flash disk and run a read/write filesystem on that. Just keep in mind (and here's something I should write up on the wiki) that the filesystem endianness is _not_ the same as intel. You can't just simply create a FS on an intel box and mount it on MIPS. It'd be nice if someone went over the UFS/FFS code and introduced endian configurability, but that's definitely not in the scope of my current work. That's why I included "newfs" in my build. You can create an MSDOS partition (or BSD label partition if you'd like) on a USB flash device, plug it into the tplink, then "newfs" it. I however haven't added anything into my startup scripts to mount filesystems. Ok, someone should file an issue in my google code project. I'm not sure about the hardware revisions. Basically, if the chip inside is an AR913x (and not an AR933x) then it _should_ work. I don't think TPLink made a whole lot of different, incompatible board revisions of the 1043nd. Thanks! Adrian
