OpenWRT x86 in VMWare ESXi

In ESXi routing, NAT and other advanced networking must be accomplished through Router Virtual Machine. DD-WRT is fine example which works stable, but it costs money to run it on x86.

You can use OpenWRT the same way as DD-WRT.
To create image yourself, download image and convert it using qemu-img.
I`ve used openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext4.img.gz.

> qemu-img convert -f raw -O vmdk openwrt.img openwrt.vmdk

After that create ESXi other Linux 3.x 32 bit machine (without CD-ROM, Printer and etc). Remove SCSI disk and add IDE and upload created VMDK file.

Make sure to set Ethernet adapter to E1000.
