I hate to tell you this but that "firmware mod kit" is for a selection of routers.

You can approach this as a development project for an ARM9 Linux device, but you
give up a lot of the built in support already provided for the firmware. Best to stick
with the "simple" modifications to the existing firmware that have been discussed.
If you are having trouble following the procedures (because of what is assumed the
reader is already familiar with) it could be an indication that your understanding of
Linux and the "Embedded" environment isn't up to the task. You should know that
messing with this sort of thing can actually brick your device. The normal SD card
based firmware updates create no condition that can't be recovered from. The simple
modifications to the files included in the firmware package, described in the related
threads, are relatively safe, as long as things are done properly.

Luck;
Ken
