Indeed. It's targeted to SGI platforms anyway. Maybe there is a need to
start a new port if there is enough people interrested?

The Linksys WRT54g wireless router is based on a Broadcom CPU=20
(derived from MIPS) and FreeBSD/mips seems to be a dead=20
project :-(

There has been talk of doing this in the past year from some people, but
I don't know if it got very far. If you're inspired, go for it! There
are plenty of docs on the web about how to attach a serial port header
and bootstrap it. And, don't underestimate the mips32 work that is
already in the tree; it's likely a good starting point.
And, it's more than just a 'coolness' factor. I'd really like to have
pf running on mine, that way I could rid of the clunky machine doing
static NAT + firewall on my DSL line. THe linux firewall capabilities
are soooooo last century =-)

m0n0wall or it's version on steroids pfsense would be real cool to
have on a WRT54g 8)
>THe linux firewall capabilities are soooooo last century =3D-)
Except for some nice projects/patches that do Layer 7 and allow
filtering or queueing on specific traffic. ALTQ applied to marked
packets would be lovely :)
This would be very nice to have, except everyone (Daniel Hartmeier
included) tells it's a bad ideia to have protocol inspection at the
firewall level.... well, going off topic but couldn't resist ;)

I thought it was targeted for mips64?

Marcos Biscaysaqu - ThePacific.net
what about do it with a different hardware, it must be some other
similar hardware with a CPU supported by freebsd and similar price.
Im not a kernel developer, but I ready to do any testing ;)
cheers

The AirLink101 AR315W is based on a Marvell ARM914 board, has a six-port
10/100 Ethernet switch, and can run Linux or eCos
