[Adrian Chadd]

 I mean, I'll take it.. :-)

I have the RB450 to finish porting, since it has an AR8327 in it.

It's AR8327 based, which I know just got support in head. I'm assuming adrian would be the person to talk to, but I could be wrong. Is there interest? It would be a neat box for soft switching stuff, for sure.
