Bad idea I think. Lets focus on getting 2.6 running and drop 2.4.

This read like "We only will support Routerboard in the future" and that
is another bad idea. We changed to FreeWRT because of the release and
project management and because we believed to get better support for at
least the devices we have (WRT54G3G and Asus) and this especially
includes 2.6 support as 2.6 is the current kernel.
2.4 is dead for years in my opinion.

Don't even think of this. I don't want to change back to OpenWRT. So if
they got it running let's see what they did and port it to our needs.

Well then, let's first of all focus on the hardware available at the
market. At least those two Asus routers and the G3G Linksys.
Dropping brcm-2.6 sound like the first step before dropping brcm-*.

/me votes for Waldemar.
