Linux wireless freedom with OpenWrt (NewsForge)
While Sveasoft is just a mod of the original Linksys firmware, OpenWrt is entirely different.
The only things it uses from the Linksys firmware are parts of the kernel source and the drivers (ported to a newer Linux version).
So comparing the two one could say that Sveasoft is trying to cram some more features into the original firmware and OpenWrt is trying to build a new and better base system for wireless routers (it runs on many similar non-Linksys units and is being ported to different architectures as well).
