The "reloaded" module allows to load and run new kernels on the
DNS-323. It is itself a kernel module that, when inserted (insmod),
loads and runs a new kernel zImage with an optional initrd or
initramfs. Command line and machine type code can be passed as module
parameters.

To compile the module, you need a working D-Link toolchain (see e.g.
fw103-scripts package in source directory). You also need the sources
of your firmware's kernel. 

Create a "linux" symlink (or edit Makefile) pointing to the firmware
kernel sources. (Note: You do not need sources of the kernel you're
going to load, only sources of the kernel that is currently running!)

The Makefile expects FUN_TARGET to contain the toolchain prefix:
 export FUN_TARGET=arm-linux-uclibc

Then, compile reloaded.ko with the following commands:
 ln -snf ../linux-2.6.12.6 linux
 ( cd linux; make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${FUN_TARGET}- maketools )
 make clean
 make

Version 0.7.121 is the second release of dns323-reloaded. The major
change is an improved memory management that greatly increases
reliability and robustness.
