The patches being referred to can be found in this thread (https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2010-May/007049.html). I have applied them with modifications to a recent version of trunk and the 2.6.37-rc6 kernel; and modified the build to produce a bootable image for a Linksys E3000 (same H/W as WRT610Nv2). The modifications include changes for the WRT610Nv2, but I have not tested that image to see if it loads (no H/W to test on).
The image has the same problems as mentioned previously (no Ethernet, no wireless, no USB, no switch support); you need to have serial access to do anything with it. There are also issues with reading from NVRAM (some work, some don't) that I looked into a little but didn't figure out; so the board detection (in broadcom-diag) doesn't work. The broadcom-wl driver loads (w/ a small patch) and creates an interface; but when the interface is brought up, it causes a kernel oops followed by a reboot. The patches from the link above disable support for the PCI-E core. I suspect this needs to be fixed, before we will get very far. This was what I was going to look at next, but it will be slow going since I have to educate myself before I can make sense of it. If someone knows how this all works, I could really use some help with this or some pointers to send me in the right direction so I'm not wasting effort. Nathan
