I'm trying to play with the firmware of a router, which is basically a squashfs filesystem.
If I create a squashfs filesystem and look at it with a hex editor it does look very similar to the one I have for the router, but I have been unable to mount the firmware on my test box. I think this is because it has been compressed with lzma to improve the compression ratio, and this is not compiled into squashfs by default.
What model of router is it? Have you seen OpenWRT (http://openwrt.org/)?
Anyone here done this kind of thing?
I've built, modified and installed OpenWRT on a handful of routers. I believe others on list have as well.
