Hiya, I have a Bullet M2 here on loan (I'm not sure how long I'll have it for though.) I've done some initial investigation into what it'd take to get FreeBSD up and running on it. In short: * It's a different SoC than what's currently supported (ar71xx/ar724x/ar913x) - we'd have to port the SoC framework, ethernet device and the Atheros Peripheral Bus glue (APB) * I'm not yet sure on the radio - maybe our HAL supports it? * It has very limited RAM/flash; squeezing FreeBSD into that won't be impossible but it'll be a challenge. I've been working out the kinks in the AR9160 support at the moment in preparation for some further 11n work. Since I'm mostly doing that in my spare time at the moment, I've no ETA on it. IIRC, AirOS is based on openwrt but with a local, closed-source atheros driver. :/ Ask me about the Bullet M2 in a couple weeks. I'll have finished my exams then and I'll see if I can bring up FreeBSD on this particular SoC.
