  Which one of the Netgear routers?

  Maybe you also have little practise with asking, because it
seems like you wouldn't want anyone to give any sane replies
in the case you would like to produce the toolchain yourself
or if this Netgear model is one of those using the Broadcomm
MIPS boards, like the WGT634U :

-------------------- clip ----------------------------------
For this source code release, two toolchains are required:

1. A MIPS little-endian toolchain. For example,
    hndtools-mipsel-linux-3.0 from Broadcom Corporation. This
    toolchain is used to compile uClibc and Linux kernel.

2. A MIPS little-endian toolchain compiled with C++ and uClibc support.
    This toolchain is used to compile linuxigd. CPP_STAGING_DIR in
    Makefile must be modified to indicate the exact path of this
    toolchain.

Then, a "make" should suffice to build all GPL components of WGT634U.
-------------------- clip ----------------------------------

Telling the exact router model cannot be forbidden by someone...

  The WGT634U case would be easy when also Linksys and Buffalo
use the same board and I remember the 'hndtools-mipsel-linux-3.0'
being included in the downloadable Linksys packages.
