Hi, Has anybody heard of any effort of making FreeBSD run on Linksys routers, for example, the WRT54G series. They use a broadcom chip that is based on MIPS. I know they have Linux work on the Linksys routers so it should be possible to get FreeBSD to run as well. I know that NetBSD does run on MIPS (but making it run on the Linksys router may still involve significant amount of work), but I am more familar with FreeBSD and from a study I looked at, FreeBSD has better network performance. Can anyone provide some insight on how much work it will take to make FreeBSD run on the Broadcom chip? Thanks, Cheng -- Lab # 626 395 8820help
