Could someone give us descriptions how to build dd-wrt VM for VM workstation?
Thanks
I'd like to know that as well. Any tips? Just make a VMWare partition with two NICs and install as usual? _________________ Q: How do I do ...? A: Read the tutorials or Search forums
1. create virtual machine with:
- 256 MB RAM
- two Network Adapters (hint: use NAT type)
- IDE hard disk, name it DDWRT
the rest is optional.
2. download dd-wrt x86 image
3. download qemu, you will need qemu-img from it
4. now you need to convert dd-wrt image to vmdk disk image, i.e. in cmd type:
qemu-img convert dd-wrt_public_vga.image -O vmdk DDWRT.vmdk
5. replace disk image created in vmware with one converted by qemu.
6. in vmware expand hard disk to 100mb
7. run VM
8. login to dd-wrt
9. type:
ifconfig br0 192.168.XXX.YYY
where XXX is subnet of vmware NAT network adapter, and YYY is free adrress in that subent.
10. in web browser enter 192.168.XXX.YYY adrress you entered in step 9, you should see dd-wrt web interface,
You should disable dhcp service in web interface and change rooter ip in section basic setup

Hi there Charl,
all went perfect, but I get an error (in the file attached) related to the video card, do you have any idea how may I avoid that? or what options should I insert in there, Google did not replied with something that I could use.
Thank you for your details instructions
