5 MHz bandwith support for OpenWRT

A number of you are experimenting with 802.11 OFDM on 70 cm with the Doodle Labs DL-435-30 and/or Xagyl XC420M.

I've been asking around on this, and here is what I've been told:

1) Check out the openwrt code and set up the build environment:

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence

Use this SVN repository: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/tags/backfire_10.03.1

2) Build the openwrt code and make an image:

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build

3) Install the image:

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.sysupgrade

Patch reset.c as follows, either using this patch or by editing it directly:

4) Rebuild the openwrt code and make another image.

5) Install the image on two APs and it should work!
