Cash flow is king at the moment, but I'd rather donate it than go to the trouble of selling it on. The STR9104 is a low power ARM-based system-on-chip. Cavium acquired Star, and sent links to Linksys GPL source tarballs. These contain some but not all of the story. As documented in earlier threads on this list, it is possible to crack into the boot loader by deliberately corrupting the flash environment region. There is also a guy working on pushing support for this SoC into Linux 2.6; link not to hand, easily searchable on the web. Let me know if you're interested in working on getting FreeBSD onto this platform, and I can send this box to you. thanks, BMS
