I'm a WRT160NL user, but I do not have this new hardware revision. However, I am working on some documentation that I hope will be applicable to the new hardware revision. Can anyone comment on when this should make it to subversion (I don't see the patch in Trac yet)? Could someone provide the symptoms of using the new hardware without this change? I understand this as the system will not boot the flash image. Is this correct? Could anyone provide any different markings that identify the new hardware revision from older revisions? Are the changes made transparent to the older hardware revision? That is, will a new build continue to work on the old hardware with no configuration change?
