AVM sells a lot of different models. I have a 7170 and it is Linux based :)

Sorry? The kernel file on Fedora is called vmlinuz.

AVM routers have ar7 CPUs. You mix things with QEMU and Openwrt. Openwrt 
is an alternate firmware for such litte boxes.

If you are able to understand German, then

is very useful for you. One of the German Red Hat guys has some more 
links gathered

I had a Siemens WLAN router which came with a Linux on it. I replaced 
its firmware with Openwrt - a really nice project, to enhance these 
little systems with additional functions and software you may know from 
i.e. Fedora. I had a MIPS cross-compiling buildsys to package a few 
software.

Don't know what your intention is. I decided to keep the AVM firmware 
(the Linux system) as it is, because other than my Siemens WLAN router 
it is easy possible to access it by telnet or ssh without much 
modifications. http://www.wehavemorefun.de/fritzbox/Main_Page has the 
necessary tips.
