Preview version images for x86 (PC), IXP4xx and PowerPC published

We have decided not to wait for OpenWRT 8.08 RC to come out and post the x86 version now. This is a 100% working preview release based on OpenWRT trunk with our modifications and FlashSYS v1 web GUI. Because we are using 2.6 kernel, Broadcom based routers which require 2.4 kernel are not supported in this version.

This release comes with wireless drivers for Atheros based on Public HAL. We were unable to include extra channel modes (superchannel) and high power modes (>20db) because of license agreements.
