like a radar thing... don't know how to describe it really)
5. When the wireless led is on, you are ready to go.
Final Notes
At this point, in linux, you want to just re-enable network manager with
You will see a notification icon that says you are connected. You should click it, disconnect, then re-connect. You
should receieve an IP of something like 192.168.1.105.
NOTE that this is not in the 192.168.11.X subnet. If you get something like 192.168.11.2 or 192.168.11.100 then
something didn't work. Also, if you don't get an IP address assigned, something didn't work. As a last ditch effort, you
could restart your computer to see if it works.
Also, per DD-WRT defaults, your router should now be broadcasting a WI-FI network on the SSID of "dd-wrt".
If you get an IP on the 192.168.1.X network, then congratulations, you are good to go. open up a web browser (see
below) and get to
http://192.168.1.1/ to begin setting up your router.
NOTE: for some reason chrome/chromium isn't working on the web interface. I had to use firefox. Use Firefox for
the web interface!

Samba Configuration
The DD-WRT already included a build-in samba, but missing ui configuration, while waiting the ui configuration, I
write a simple instruction to setup samba.
The instructions here is base on
http://g300nh.blogspot.com/2010/06/samba-sharing-in-dd-wrt.html , but have
some modify to easy setup with user not family with linux, all setup can be done with dd-wrt interface, and don't
need to use shell of dd-wrt.
