In fact the download works well with Fedora core 8 and as well as Fedora Core 7. You may need the comapt-gcc-* and compat-libstdc++, and compat-libgcc-296, packages. (I have them installed on my machine - so I cannot really say if they are needed or not).

It also should work on most otherr linux distribution with some minor path changes.

Hi Howard R. Levy

You can use the trx utility from any broadcom based routers. Some of the versions of the source code at the Netgear's download site has precompiled trx binaries for 64-bit Intel architecture and doesn't run on 32 bit PC/laptops. Also if will be great if you could find the trx utility and post the output of two commands

$ file trx

and

$ mipsel-linux-ldd trx

After you have installed the gcc toolchains and set the propoer PATH variables. 

I have notices that the latest verion of WGR614v8's source code has a correct utility and it is very similar to WGR614L. you can use the soruce code for firmware version 1.1.2 at ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/GPL/wgr614v8-v1.1.2_1.0.23NA_src.zip and take the trx utility from there.

If you use the yum utility for software installation in Fedora you can just type

# yum list 'compat-gcc-*' 'compat-libstdc++*' 'compat-libgcc-296*'

as root user and you can check if these are already installed. These are optional packages to the base systems and library of fedora and is included in the fedore distributions and repositories.

and then install the packages using

# yum list 'compat-gcc-*' 'compat-libstdc++*' 'compat-libgcc-296*'

Here is what I have installed in my Fedora code 8.

Hello hrlevy - you can find Nachi's solution to the TRX problem in our downloads section, or by clicking here.

Good luck with your build and enjoy the site!
