Unless some magic has happened during the last year or so (which was when I stopped doing this), it isn't really a hard problem, just a lot of work. There are other areas (protocol implementations come to mind) where there are _much_ larger dragons. But there are a lot of chipsets these days - even if each one isn't a really hard problem, tackling all of them require either a lot of dedication or a lot of personell, or preferably both. Eivind.
