Hello,

we have been testing the firmware for a week now and it seems
stable. I
personally tested it also on a Linksys WRT54GL and it works both in
station and in AP modes. I collected the feedbacks that some of you
sent
and it seems that the firmware now runs on these board:

- 4306, 4311, 4318, 4320

As a point of clarification, I think this is restricted to the 4311/1
as the 4311/2 uses ucode13, not ucode5. If you need a tester for an
open-source version of the 13 firmware, I'm available.
Damn... that would be a very hard writing.... We do not have any
4311/2 board: at first glance there are more condition registers whose
meaning we do not know. Very different hardware, didn't know. Thank
you for the feedback.

Well, if you didn't notice it already, there are a zillion different flavors of the broadcom wireless chip out there. So if you buy a random device, you're almost
guaranteed that you don't have that flavor already. ;)
Ehm... I begin to notice now... we were so engaged in understanding the tx state machine that we lost this _huge_ detail(!). They (Broadcom) should have plenty of engineers to design so many different chipsets.

Cheers,
-FG
