TomatoUSB

I have a couple WNR 3500L running TomatoUSB, and as you probably already know the internal antennas suck. I've been doing some work with backtrack, and got a couple Linux compatible USB wireless adapters that work really well. Then I thought my WNR 3500L has a USB port, what if I was able to use these USB wireless adaptors with it. Then I could extend my range, and maybe even add a second access point. Could even possibly use it like Alfa R36.

But I don't see any options for this in TomatoUSB. So is this possible, and if so, how?

there are no drivers for usb wireless in Tomato…

I see, Is there any way to add the drivers? I wonder if there would be a conflict between the already existing wireless drivers, and the usb ones. Of course Ive only had problems with ralink drivers, and have never had a problem with broadcom, atheros, or realtek. I can run 3 wlans in linux without issue.

Is there any way to add the drivers?

Source code of tomato is available. You can download to add them yourself and give a go. That's the power of open source.

Its not something I currently need. I already ran a 100ft cable to the other side of my house since the wireless was so weak. This would have really helped before I did that. So this will be at the bottom of my todo list. Unfortunately I have other priorities at the moment. If I ever get around to it, I would love to give it a try, because I think it would be a great addition to TomatoUSB.
