Looks promising, if somewhat pricey?

Anyone knows what chipset it features/will feature?

I was going to find some time today to call the product manager and/or marketing contact to see if they can give advice.

What else would the collective wisdom care to know about?

Exactly what chips are inside?

Any binary blobs?  Binary blob device drivers are non-starters. Binary blob
firmware (e.g. in a wireless chip), can be handled if necessary if the code
is available to the community (as is the case with ath9k).

When we can get some (if they are interesting)?

When will their code base be available?

The press release for the new Linksys WRT1900AC has some details: 1.2GHz dual-core ARM, 128MBytes Flash, 256MBytes DDR3 RAM, 2.4 & 5 GHz dual band, lots of other good stuff. http://www.linksys.com/en-us/press/releases/2014-01-06_Linksys_wrt_revolutionizes_wireless_networking

… and also…

Good point on the blobs. I’m hopeful that their big emphasis on Open Source versions (they mention OpenWrt) will avoid the blobs. 

Best,

Despite a couple calls and e-mails to Mike Chen and Karen Sohl last week, I have not had a response. I’ll keep trying this week after they return from the CES show.
