This is a simply a barebones OpenWRT image designed to turn a WR703N into an airplay streamer using shairport and a cheap USB sound card.
Installation Instructions:
1) Flash firmware using appropriate image/method.
2) Telnet to the administrative LAN interface @ 192.168.1.1 (no password). Set a password (passwd).
3) Update /lib/wifi/mac80211.sh with your wireless settings.
4) Update /etc/rc.local - set "--apname" to your choosing. This name will appear in your iDevice.
5) Reboot
If you want to build it yourself, I've included the instructions I followed in the wiki.

Just installed it this last weekend. Worked flawlessly. Thanks. Just as an aside to anyone else trying install this for the first time, replacing the firmware on you TP-Link TL-WR703N router with OpenWRT and flashing in this build to use it as an AIrplay receiver, you are probably going to have to do a bit of playing around to get a feel for how it all works and you may wind up "bricking", though not permanently, you router. Just plan on a bit of hacking and it will all work out. You probably need a bit of an understanding of Linux as well.

Thank you very much for the write up on this build, it's very helpful. I had some trouble with it but I used a newer version of Shairport and now it's behaving perfectly :)

Cool !!! Not tested yet, but was about to do the same thing... thanks for making this work available on sourceforge ! had make shairport running using alternate method (using the IPK by microfono on shairport openwrt forum thread) A little soldering to intégrate the additional hardware in the original case and the WR-703N, become the perfect and cheapest airplay device...
