Flashing DD-WRT
The work is definitely in progress as of June 2010 (read thread first): http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=73601&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

'''As of July 2010 you can only use the trailed builds with the e3000 name in it for initial flashing and nothing else, using other bin's without the e3000 name in it for initial flashing may result in a bricked unit! After you have dd-wrt installed to your unit, you can then use the e2k-e3k.bin's for upgrading to newer builds. This is a common error which is leading to many bricks in which serial is the only method for recovery, so read carefully!'''


 * Use only e3000 specific firmware (with e3000) in the name, minimum 14584 Eko build. For example dd-wrt.v24-14584_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-e3000.bin
 * Flash straight to the big build using Cisco-Linksys web interface.
 * After successful upgrade message comes up, give it extra 2–3 minutes to complete flashing.
 * You may need to clear your browser cache after flashing to see dd-wrt's web interface
 * Some people have been having heat issues. Razing the router off the ground helped.
 * It has been reported that you can revert to the original firmware by simple upgrading through the GUI, source http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=74703


 * 1) Disconnect all cables and wireless clients.
 * 2) Do a 30/30/30 reset on router.
 * 3) Connect 1 Lan cable to pc doing the flash.
 * 4) Log into Web Interface and flash the firmware ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/V24-K26/svn14853/dd-wrt.v24-14853_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-e3000.bin
 * 5) Wait 5 minutes until WAN light turns on.
 * 6) Power cycle by unplugging E3000 for 30 secs.
 * 7) Plug E3000 back in and wait about 5 minutes until it finishes booting.
 * 8) Do a 30/30/30 reset on router.
 * 9) Wait 3 minutes and log into web interface.
 * You may have to clear your browser cache before the web login will display.

DD-WRT E3000 Build information

The latest builds for this unit can be currently found in the FTP. Support was added in 14826 and on.

ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/V24-K26/

Brainslayer added E3000 Support from 14929 and on and builds are to be found in the broadcom_K26 folder of his build branch.

ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/

Also it has been asked about the builds with e2k-e3k name in them, these builds are for if you already have those units flashed with dd-wrt, you can simply use one of those builds to upgrade, but the initial flash should always be done with the trailed build (build with the unit only name in it) linked above.

Reverting to OEM Firmware from DD-WRT

 * 1) Go to Linksys support site and download the latest stock E2000 firmware image.
 * 2) From within the dd-wrt webgui go to Administration > Factory Defaults, and reset to factory defaults.
 * 3) Once you router has reset to factory defaults, set a static ip on your machine to 192.168.1.6 and access the webgui @ http://192.168.1.1
 * 4) It should prompt you to set a user/password, do so, then from the webgui, go to Administration > Firmware Upgrade
 * 5) Select to reset to defaults on the drop down menu and then browse to the stock firmware image for the E2000, select the file and flash.
 * 6) Wait 5 mins from flashing, then do a Hard 30-30-30 reset and login again @ http://192.168.1.1 and begin your config on stock firmware.


 * Should you want to use DHCP you will need to then unset your static ip on your machine.
