This assume you are running Ubuntu.
Try this:
0. Before you start...
0.1 Ensure router power plug is secure.
0.2 Ensure LAN cable is clicked into both router and computer.
0.3 Ensure your router is working by opening http://192.168.0.1 (or whatever IP address you have changed it to)
1. Backup router config in case you want to restore factory firmware.
2. Factory default router to ensure it's IP address is 192.168.0.1
2.1 Power on router.
2.2 Hold in reset button until test light (tick) flashes.
2.3 Wait for router to reboot (I think - might have to power cycle it).
3. Run my script to turn on telnet, backup partitions, extract environment file, patch ADAM2 to turn off checksum test, download OpenWRT, split into 2 parts, install patched ADAM2 and OpenWRT parts...
Note: This is not conventional and may not work. But unless you have some hardware fault or power failure, you can fairly easily recover your Netgear using a Netgear image and a small C program called nftp. I'll add instructions below.
3.1 mkdir
3.2 cd
3.3 save my script here
3.4 Run my script like this:
bash ./pc-setup-wrt-v2.bash
... and follow my instructions.
4. Boot into OpenWRT
4.1 Power cycle router.
4.2 Connect ethernet port - may take 1-2 minutes first time.
4.3 Browse to http://192.168.1.1
4.4 Follow instructions to set password.
Done.
My Script
Save as pc-setup-wrt-v2.bash

Basic Configuration Steps
Save and Apply after each change.
If unsure, power cycle router.
Set timezone
Set dropbear (ssh) interface to lan
Edit LAN interface
IP address (WARNING: This gives me most headaches - perhaps leave it alone for a while)
(When you save and apply, you may need to disconnect/reconnect ethernet interface on pc)
I set MTU to 1474
Add new (PPPoATM) interface
Set username and password
Set custom DNS servers to OpenDNS 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Assign ADSL interface to WAN
Edit Wifi
Enable
Set SSID etc.
Set to WEP and generate WEP hex key somehow.
No WPA???
