This brings Linux to the fore: http://forum.wdlxtv.com/ is the place for
homebrew and custom mods to the firmware GPL source that Western Digital
release. They have a build system bundled with their sources too I
believe, so people on the forum all work with the same base image and
customize using the same techniques. It is pretty robust.

I use mine to mount my NFS enabled Dlink NAS, which itself uses another
open source firmware.

So between my DIR-825 router with OpenWRT, DS-320 NAS with Funplug, and
WDTV media box with a firmware from that wdlxtv forum, all my systems
use Free firmware - except the Teksavvy modem.

Cheers, Jamon
