I installed DDWRT v24 05/20/08 std (SVN revision 9517M) on my Fonera. This version of DDWRT is meant to have Asterisk included but I get an error message "Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk.ctl exist?)"

Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk.ctl exist?)
root@DD-WRT:~#
I've googled this error and am meant to have a asterisk.conf file in my Fonera which wasn't there, so I created this file and the error went away but re-appeared on reboot of the Fon.
From searching the DDWRT forum, which does not have many posts about Asterisk (which surprises me) it looks like the only 2 versions that work are RC3 and RC4. However, I cannot downgrade from my current firmware due to a error. I have upgraded to DDWRT V24-SP1 and this also gives me the asterisk.ctl error. Now I'm thinking of installing OpenWRT on it hoping it has better support for Asterisk
Has anyone got a working Fonera with asterisk on it with v24 05/20/08 std (SVN revision 9517M) or higher build?
Anyone got a solution for the asterisk.ctl error on the Fon?
Can anyone recommend an OpenWRT build that works with Asterisk or has it built in already?
Cheers
