Everything that Maxime sent is, or will be merged either in 2.6.32 or in 2.6.33, that includes: - arch/mips/bcm63xx (will be in 2.6.32) - USB driver bits (2.6.33) - Ethernet MAC driver bits (2.6.32) - Ethernet PHY driver bits (2.6.32) - UART driver (2.6.32) - PCMCIA support (2.6.32) > > I have a BCM63xx router and will be testing whatever I work on, both > compiling and running.

We maintain a couple of different patches for OpenWrt, specifically the mtd partition parser since we provide images, so the box should boot from Flash. That driver is not in a mergable state at the moment. There is also a embryon of a SPI driver and a watchdog driver, which I will probably submit once cleaned up. > > Please let me know what your thoughts are, and whether I should proceed > and work on this myself or whether you have other plans. > My plans are currently to maintain the bcm63xx board code and drivers in a working state for the community, probably not much. -- Best regards, Florian Fainelli Email: florian@xxxxxxxxxxx Web: http://openwrt.org IRC: [florian] on irc.freenode.net -------------------------------
