What the hell is this Cavium xscale is an arm core, so you need an arm cross compiler.

[SLUG] GPL discovery on Netgear FVS338
Hi All, Seems the Netgear FVS338 firewall (http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/fvs338.asp) is actually Linux under the hood (specifically a customised 2.4.18 kernel): ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/GPL/fvs338_v1_6_29_src_tar.bz2 (22.4MB) Having recently purchased one of these little units, it made me happy. Now it's got me thinking - why couldn't I run up my own 2.4 kernel so I can reuse my tried and true iptables scripts. The VPN functions don't interest me particularly. However, my iptables scripts do some pretty funky NAT stuff and port redirection which doesn't seem to be supported on Netgear's firmware. Anyone got any pointers on where a budding hardware h4x0r should start??

Or is it IA32 compatible?? What the hell is this Cavium CN501?! I know how these encryption accelerators work and what they are, just never seen them well supported under Linux.
