Just to give an update, running linkmeter under the WNDR3700v2 is very nice - the page renders very quick, and there is plenty of memory for packages and operations. Mounting a low profile usb (sandisk cruzer fit USB2) for storage of logs is very nice.
To build the platform, follow these steps here: http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?34755-Building-LinkMeter-with-new-Platform (Bryan may have updated his documentation already to include these steps).
After a successful build of the linkmeter platform, I recommend some additional built-in modules (*), not (M), to the build:
apt-get install gettext (required for samba, if of interest)
make menuconfig options for WNDR3700v2 wireless:
Kernel Modules/Wireless:
Added kmod-ath9k (built-in)
Removed kmod-b43
make menuconfig options for USB2 support:
Kernel Modules/Native Language Support:
Added kmod-nls-base (built-in)
Kernel Modules/USB:
Added kmod-usb-core (built-in)
Added kmod-usb-storage-extras (built-in)
Added kmod-usb2 (built-in)
Utilities/Filesystem:
Added e2fsprogs (built-in)
make menuconfig options for samba support:
Network/Filesystem:
Added samba3 (built-in)
LUCI/Applications:
Added luci-app-samba (built-in)
After flashing with the 3700v2 sysupgrade image, you can enable the radio by:
editing /etc/config/wireless
remove lines option disabled 1
run wifi
I'm looking to put the data into a data historian for analysis, so samba and usb2 support is very interesting.
Have fun!
