where can i get the hardware details of a board brought up on rtl8186? A reference design or an application note having a schematic???
Is there any specific hardware related forum to discuss on routers and next generation products?
Thank you,

I am interested to use the wireless devices which are based on realtek rtl8186 processor. I understand that it is actually mip3000 and so it is very compatible with openwrt code base. I have subscribed to the forum in
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtl8186
I managed to compile to code based on the files on the website, however I don't get any response from my postings, mainly because I think they don't quite speak English; neither can I understand their non-Engish documentation.
Now my question is whether is rtl8186-based wireless devices supported by White Russian or Kamikaze, or is there any chance of getting it supported ?
Cheers ?
OK and with respect to this question, I need to save into a binary file the partition where is saved the wireless calibration data (RTL8225). The only that I know is that under Open-WRT with Atheros SoC, you can save this Atheros wireless calibration data or ART ("Atheros Radio Test", Atheros wireless calibration data) with the following command:
#cat /proc/mtd
(and if it appears a parttion named: "art" or "config" then it is the partition with Atheros wireless calibration data)
#dd if=/dev/mtd5 of=/tmp/art.bin
(if "mtd5" is the partition with the wireless calibration data of your Atheros wireless chip, you will get a backup into a binary file "art.bin" with those wireless calibration data or ART)
OK, and now my question is a similar option to save the wireless calibration data of my RTL8225 wireless chip that I have into my wireless access point with Realtek RTL8186 cpu.
Then can anybody explain me how to save the wireless calibration data under RTL8186 platform?.
Because when you login means telnet or ssh under a RTL8186 firmware and you put:
# cat /proc/mtd
"mtd" does not exist, then how can you know where is the wireless calibration data partition for saving into a binary file for backup of your RTL8225?.
That someone can answer me with some type of useful idea please. Thank you
