From LinuxCisco
Welcome to the Linux-Cisco Wiki. Linux-Cisco is dedicated to porting the Linux kernel to various Cisco Systems hardware platforms. This wiki is dedicated to storing information on the porting and use of Linux on Cisco Systems' routers and switches.
Note that the Linux-Cisco project is not affiliated with Cisco in any way, and is run by individual developers who are only interested in extending the hardware support of Linux.

| OpenWrt port for the C3600 series has been updated to trunk revision 16576 and to use Linux 2.6.30. Patch can be downloaded from here: openwrt-c3600-r16682.diff. We now also download ciscoload.bin (binary version) and have PCI support enabled by default.

| Gitweb finally works sanely! Woohoo. Seems that some updates to perl as a part of an upgrade of Lenny fixed some brokenness.
Be on the lookout for more work on Linux-Cisco in the coming months. Upcoming projects include added support for new platforms, and some core cleanups to CILO, among other things.

| Created the initial Wiki Site for Linux-Cisco. Unfortunately, we outgrew the wiki page on the Linux-MIPS Wiki. As well, as the project branches out to support more and more diverse platforms, it becomes slightly odd to have it on the Linux-MIPS wiki.
Note the outright theft of the Linux-MIPS wiki front page. Hopefully this will get updated at some point.
