That's all correct as long as there are all pieces. F.ex. I've heard of 
some low level problems with some of the chipsets. The wifi chipsets are 
the most known for this. I think that I've heard about xDSL chipsets 
with similar problems. I wish you all the best with making your own 
firmware for this hardware.
