# tew-829dru
# TRENDnet tew-829dru goldsheet
Everything known about the TEW-829DRU before I half bricked it attempting to add OpenWRT support for this device.

## CATSPEED.CC PUBLIC GPL CCS MIRROR:
I have taken the liberty to set up a GPL source mirror, as I have the express right to redistribute GPL software under GPLv2 license. This mirror will contain various manufacturers' GPLv2 source for devices if provided via website such as - TRENDnet, TP-Link (soon)
I am doing so for a few reasons:

**NOTE:** The archiver will run once weekly on Sunday at 0000 - it only downloads corrupted or missing files - based on SHA1 hashes. As the script is rate limiting itself to prevent damage to their infrastructure, it may take over night to complete. Should TRENDnet have issue with this and outright block my download attempts, that would be a GPL violation in my opinion. Rate limits I will accept to a degree, I understand the circumstances, hence why the script already rate limits itself.
