Yeah, updated the firmware and applied binary patches to it, I did
disassemble a version of it the other day too but ran out of fu when
fiddling. ;) You have the TF5800? I currently have mine connected via an
Asus Premium 500GP wireless router that has usb ports and is running
OpenWrt ( http://www.openwrt.org ) using ftpd-topfield to talk to the
Toppy downloading programs and flashing new firmwares. I have done it
with linux on my laptop before and was going to build packages for
Debian and Ubuntu but never /quite/ got around to doing that.
