Just add the repository, update the list and upgrade the system. So far so good. Enjoy!

Hi there!
So this weekend I needed to repeat a WEP network into a WPA-TKIP network, with different SSIDs, obviously. So, once again, DD-WRT to the rescue.
Some of the configurations may be redundant, but hey, it was easy and it is working. Further improvements are left as an exercise to the reader =)
I assume you have [...]

I like this new restore session interface with the new builds of Firefox.
You can see and select which tabs you want to open.
Pretty cool.
