I paid for x86 activateion, i get to the activation screen, but what am i supposed to enter into that box?

[Sash]

see the activation center in you shop account

[jhbs]

yes i went to dd-wrt shop > activation center > logged in > i can see the drop down list which has "dd-wrt" in it, then there is a text box where i need to enter something and then click on "Activate" button

[Sash]

put there the key the non activated ddwrt device prints out

[jhbs]

im going to sound really stuipid here, where can i find that key? I have put the x86 image on a CF card, plugged it in, setup my router, can access it via the web interface, what now?

[olmari]

Did you put registered version in you CF? If not then you can't activate... Free doesn't need one

[jhbs]

ahhhh thats where i went wrong. Is it in the downloads section then? i will just have to reflash my cf card

Anything from here basically... SMP for multicore/multicpu computer...

thanks olmari, I did that, got my x86 activated but the only thing is i dont have the wireless tab and no wireless controls. How do i get these? when i registered it i had the wireless card installed, not really sure whats going on

[olmari]

[jhbs]

ah that might be why, so then if i found an atheros based card then plugged it in the wireless tab would pop up

[olmari]

[jhbs]

is there a list of compatiable cards pci ones, or can it just be any card that is atheros based?

[Sash]

almost any card should work
