set up the node
  00:20 < juul> so, in very brief: get the openwrt-firmware repo from sudomesh github, run prepare script,
run build script, flash resulting firmware (jffs version) onto your atheros node (only tested on picostation 2

in the readme
  00:20 < juul> those instructions may well be a bit lacking still
