Brainslayer told me that Linksys sent him (6) WRT3200ACM's about 6 months before they were released to the general public.
Nothing on the WRT32X.
When I get paid next week I'll put at least $40 in the WRT32X donation pool. I'll have to use my mother's PayPal account.
Apparently you can't donate to your own pool.
Hopefully other WRT32X owners will be more encouraged to donate when they see some movement and realize that this is a serious effort.

He told me that he was able to flash DD-WRT on a WRT32X via command line and they're working on flashing from Linksys Venom GUI.
I asked him for the commands he used, but I haven't heard back yet. As soon as I can verify it, I'll post the instructions for everyone.
Every command I have tried so far either fails or it will flash successfully, but then the router is inaccessible.
3x power switch back to alternate partition and then try again.

6 months ago I would have helped, but I am so totally turned off anything that is "Linksys" and "WRT", it isn't funny. _________________ My "WRT" rant, and why I have gone ddwrt on x86, no more consumer routers. ( ac86u as access points & bridges )

I know, Mojo. I feel for you guys. Although I've been very fortunate with my network configuration, I've been with y'all on this journey every step of the way.
I read everything in the Marvell Forum.
I wouldn't expect anyone to donate who doesn't currently own or plan to own a WRT32X.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Current amount raised: $125.00. We're so close...
* For some reason the $30.00 I put in from my cousin's PayPal account is still Pending.
The total amount raised above and in the first post is the actual amount. _________________ DD-WRT Installation & Setup TUTORIAL http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=311117

Found a refurbished WRT32X on eBay for $89.99. The only concern is the seller doesn't have an eBay rating (no history). He/She does offer Worldwide shipping.

I went ahead and ordered the WRT32X from eBay mentioned in the previous post.
In light of the shipping charges from Amazon increasing the price to $193.21 it seems like the best way to go.
Even though the seller has no rating or history with eBay, between eBay's Purchase Protection and PayPal's Purchaser Protection we shouldn't have any problems.
Thank you for the donations and making this happen!
PayPay & eBay receipts are posted below.
*As promised the remaining funds will be donated to the DD-WRT Project. I'm just waiting for the $30.00 I put in from my cousin's PayPal account to clear.
DD-WRT donation receipt will also be posted to this Thread. _________________ DD-WRT Installation & Setup TUTORIAL http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=311117
