The ath(4) TX path is a little CPU heavy for my liking. > I need try to build firmware with all needed services (mpd5, BIND, > isc-dhcp-server, nmbd-related parts of samba)... Oh, shit..

Ian has done some digging into how to slim down the malloc requirements of -HEAD on ARM so I'm hoping we can sort that out and get it into the tree for the embedded builds. But in any case, my aim is to make the DIR-825 do at least 300MBit of wireless traffic across both interfaces, with bridging or routing. NAT would be nice to hit after that goal. As for cross-building ports - that's being worked on. Adrian
