Yes. That is correct. They could opt for brcmsmac+bcma for that once that is added. > Regards, > Jonas > > P.S: Which reminds me, do you plan to (not) support the integrated > wifi in the BCM6362?

I had a quick look and it indeed is another flavor of system bus. I did not figure out yet how to build a router image and which source files provide bus access for it. I do not have access to DSL stuff over here. Gr.
