I already answered this question. I may not have gone into detail why the factory-to-ddwrt.bin files are the wrong size or satisfied your questions to your liking, but that is not important, is it? You are grinding an axe that is best left alone. You have been given more than enough information, I do not know how difficult it is to comprehend.

I will email the developer and ask AGAIN. It wasn't important enough to fix it last time I inquired, obviously. I really don't know why you must continue to grind this axe. You have a known initial flash file. It's a known issue that is documented. I even updated the device wiki some and linked your other thread until I get a chance to do a proper update, just because YOU need it.
Please refer AGAIN to the forum rules and guidelines already linked; read, read, read, and COMPREHEND. The forum has NO control over development or the router database. NONE. It's stated numerous times throughout and yet you still have to ask WHY WHY WHY.... _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

We must have clear, clean, neat, and concise documentation. It is a must. Because people can't seem to use their brain and accept things as they are and move forward. We must stop the entire project and shut the shop doors because of one person. Ludicrous!
There is a reason why wiki access is locked down. Because too many boneheads have mucked things up. You're not sure what's going on because you spend too much time asking questions instead of taking what is there and moving forward. You are literally bikeshedding things here. _________________ An old man said, “Erasers are made for those who make mistakes.” A youth replied, “Erasers are made for those who are willing to correct their mistakes!” Attitude matters! ~ Anonymous

Your questions have already been answered. The answers may not have been obvious, but you were given answers, nonetheless.
EDIT: I got a response while I was napping. The answer to your question on the firmware size issue is what I suspected; The builds were broken. I will check the next release and update the status. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

some older versions of firmware are

but laster firmware is
webflash 3mb and factory to ddwrt 6mb
if the router is 4mb flash / 32ram

thanks
The build system the developer is using generates binaries for all the devices defined in the config files. This does not nessesary mean, that all generated binaries for all devices are valid.
A change in the build sources may break binaries for (some) devices. There are some preferred devices used by the developer to verify his builds, but he does not own and cannot check all (old, low end hardware) devices.
Look into the beta builds and check whats the last build that matches your flash and check the change log on the first "broken" build (followed by broken builds). This may help the developer to check his build system.
The developer was already contacted; thanks for the more level-headed explanation. Apparently, some folks need explanations for everything where the website and currently posted information are lacking due to gears grinding to a halt and they cannot seem to move forward in life until they're given an answer that correlates to "42". It also seems that we must white tornado the community over it as well. I am still waiting for the inputs for the wikis that have yet to be given; I thought all the information was already compiled and ready to go. Apparently not. _________________ An old man said, “Erasers are made for those who make mistakes.” A youth replied, “Erasers are made for those who are willing to correct their mistakes!” Attitude matters! ~ Anonymous
