Topic: D-Link DSL-G604T hardware/driver questions

Hello,

I'm considering replacing my current ADSL router with a D-Link DSL-G604T running OpenWRT (I'm aware that I'll need to hack on it to make it work).

Before I do so, I've got two simple questions:

1) How is the IP175A switch configured? Is there an EEROM attached for storing its configuration data, is it programmed via the MII registers, or is it hardwired?

2) Where can I find the TI WLAN driver source mentioned in http://wiki.openwrt.org/AR7Port?

As background, I'd like to end up with the following setup:

* ADSL using PPPoA, with native IPv6 and IPv4 - my ISP provides both native IPv6 and tunnelled,  and the goal is to stop using the tunnel (purely for the geek value).
* WLAN, ADSL, and all but one of the switch ports on three different VLANs; these VLANs going down the final switch port to my existing firewall (OpenBSD based, and I'd rather not change it). This can be done if I can program the switch chip (I've checked the datasheet), assuming the WLAN is handled by the CPU (as in the AR7 reference designs).
* Some form of encryption on the WLAN, maybe WPA, maybe WEP, whatever I can get working smile

If doing this with the DSL-G604T isn't going to be possible (hardware limits), recommendations for alternate ADSL2+ and OpenWRT hardware would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Simon

2) I am not sure, but it could be at http://acx100.sourceforge.net/

I would be very happy if I gain WLAN support (and WDS) with my router smile

The discussion might have continued from here.
