Why not ? About a year ago I've built an alternative firmware for some tiny WLAN router which was based on an i386 clone SoC (IIRC made by TI).

If you don't need high data rates (and things like PCI), it's relatively easy to build a board manually ;-) cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 174 7066481 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
