Hi,
Has anybody heard of any effort of making FreeBSD run on Linksys
routers, for example, the WRT54G series. They use a broadcom
chip that is based on MIPS. I know they have Linux work on
the Linksys routers so it should be possible to get FreeBSD to
run as well.
I know that NetBSD does run on MIPS (but making it run on the
Linksys router may still involve significant amount of work), but
I am more familar with FreeBSD and from a study I looked at,
FreeBSD has better network performance.
Can anyone provide some insight on how much work it will take to
make FreeBSD run on the Broadcom chip?
Thanks,
Cheng
