George:
With a few additional patches; the 4716 build appears to be working with no noticeable problems on my Linksys E3000. This includes wireless working on one of the radios using the broadcom-wl driver. I haven't done a lot of testing with it, but I'll be playing with it on and off this weekend. I'll collect up my changes, and post them here later today so you can include them in your patch set. The patches will include support for building an image for the WRT610nV2 as well; someone w/ serial access will need to confirm it's working. Getting the PCIE Host Mode working is needed for the second radio (5 GHz). With your previous set of patches, the device would be recognized and would try to load the driver (broadcom-wl); but eventually you would get a kernel oops (it didn't actually hang the machine though). I noticed all of the PCIE patches are absent from this latest set; are you still working on them, or did you put them on the back burner (maybe not needed by the RT-N16)? Great work!!!
