Yeah, we have a huge pile of these things. It would be great to make them DD-WRT.

Every time a BT customer phones in a problem, BT send them a new hub. Consiquently there are millions of brand new unused home hubs available for free.

They can be programmed with speed touch firmware but this is not nessasarily better than the BT firmware.

Interestingly BT are running FON on these things without the customer realising it. Consequently there are millions of BT-FON and BT-OpenZone hotspots all over the place.

Anyone who converts their wrt54g into a FON spot gains instaant access to all the BT Home hubs running BT-FON.

Here is a Wikipedia link about the Home Hub

Here is what The Scream have to say. I have followed these instructions and you do end up with a usable router. The problem is the LED's show nonsense and hence no good for a customer;

Using v6.2.2.6 gives you ssh access and SAMBA etc.

The standard BT firmware is quite ascceptable to turn these into access points if you turn off DHCP and FON etc.

You will notice that there are some OpenWRT projects for the 6348 chip which may result in binarys for the BT Home Hub. However the real value of the Home Hub is in things like it's VoIP. There are ways of pwning this so it can be used with your own router to other providers. The DECT Hub Phones are quite nifty with a very loud handsfree mode and backlit LCD display.
