[AC68U] DDWRT is out

[ronan_zj]

I just notice there is a new DDWRT built for AC68U, but I haven't tried and will do it tonight to see if it has USB 3.0 issue.

I don't know how they'd be able to know what code to change, and implement it, before Asus itself finalizes their own f/w with the changes in it.

Also, reading that thread through to the bottom (where Merlin informs them of the issue) confirms my suspicion that they will be a step behind the factory f/w & Merlin. This isn't a slight to DD-WRT at all (I use it on other hardware, and have liked it for years), I think when new hardware comes out their first priority is more low level stuff to just get it working at all on a particular router.

The USB 3.0 issue is most likely at the kernel level. DD-WRT uses a much newer kernel (3.x), which probably doesn't have the problem Asuswrt has with 2.6.36.
