Super!!! can we build a openwrt for broadcom mips based devices like Asus WL500gP and keep the 2.4Ghz BG radio and also use the USB Atheros N cards? can we add this drivers to the openwrt dev trunk? pleeeaseee smile

Thx!

USB can often have a LOT of CPU usage overhead.  I doubt the broadcom MIPS CPU can keep up with G speeds, let alone N.  I could be wrong, but putting the concert out there.

The discussion might have continued from here.
