I now have two Wi-Tek WI-R1 routers in my hands,
$25 each band new.
Any news on how to make a LibreMesh image for them? Or... better to
wait a few months for a more stable updated version of LibreMesh?
Also, their hardware range is extensive, and I wonder if it all runs
OpenWrt like these routers:

Hi again, renewing my previous question to Daniel
of how to help, and
adding a new question:
What's the process to get this router to show up on the list of
supported devices in Chef or the SDK or whatever method? I will get
one sometime soon and I want to know how to make an appropriate
LibreMesh image for it.
cheers,
Patrick

Thanks for your detailed response!
Can you tell me in more detail what you mean by "actively help
improving things"? Do I need a JTAG interface and advanced
programming skills? Or can I help just by installing LibreMesh and
running a few diagnostic commands? Extracting the driver? Something
else?
As far as flashing LibreMesh, I guess it depends on the admin
interface for the router... will it work to just upload firmware
through the web interface? Maybe the only way to know is by doing it
and seeing what happens?
Cheers,
Patrick
