Here's the README.TXT.  What does "Build WL330gE firmware image" mean to 
you?


Install GPL 2.0.0.9
#cd /root
#tar zxvf WL330gE2009_GPL.tgz

Install toolchain
#mkdir /root/broadcom/opt
#ln -s /root/broadcom/opt /opt
#cd /opt
#tar zxvf toolchain.tgz

Update environment variable $PATH:
1. add following paths to /etc/profile
/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-linux/bin
/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-uclibc/bin
/root/broadcom/tools
2. update $PATH
#source /etc/profile

Build WL330gE firmware image
#cd /root/broadcom/src/router
#make image-WL330gE

When popping up the Broadcom Linux Router Configuration window,
select "Exit", then select "No" to use default package configuration.
When popping up the Linux Kernel v2.4.20 Configuration window,
select "Exit", then select "No" to use default kernel configuration.

Finally, check firmware images in /root/broadcom/src/router/mipsel
