Btw, do you mean chip-vendor or device-vendor with vendor? Device-vendor could get a bit messy on the source part as the router manufacturers tend to switch them quite often. E.g. d-link used arm, mips and ubi32 chips from marvell, ubicom, broadcom, atheros, realtek and ralink for their dir-615 router, happily switching back and forth. There are 14 known different hardware revisions of it where the chip differed from the previous one. Jonas
