It's not clear how the ethernet is fully implemented (The marvel phy is documented, the actual ethernet interface is not so far as I can see, so some source code reading is going to be required. ) I note that me doing this is also kind of driven by supplies of the wndr3800 drying up. The prospect of having to do yet another port to some other low-end hardware for cerowrt is depressing and mildly intimidating. I'd rather do anything else than bring up yet another board that will be obsolete in 6 months, when I'd rather be working at a level far, far, above the hardware at this point. If I gotta do a new board bring up, I'd rather switch to arm as I view MIPs as basically dead (it's not dead, it's resting) at this point. I also picked up a dreamplug today to BQL it. Not fond of that arm implementation. As for cero's future, well... The wndr3700v4 is out, and appears to be a good hardware upgrade from the 3800 series, but it's not supported by openwrt yet. I took a look at their GPL source distribution. And yea! it's openwrt. And boo! it's ancient openwrt, for example dnsmasq is 2.39 (current is 2.64), and their kernel is 2.6.31. I think the cpu and ethernet chips tho look a lot better: Atheros AR9344+ AR9580(5GHz)+AR9344(2.4GHz). It's my hope these do ipv6 better. I have looked at similar products from buffalo and others, would like external antennas and a good switch this time around.
