Hi there

because it has only 512KB flash, which is too little to anything usable

there is a port of linux to RGs and airports, but it
is only a hack to etherboot the kernel and a basic
ramdisk image onto the unit, then run from RAM (and
NFS mount anything else)

ppl from HRI list did a successfull port/reflash of
a SMC wireless unit (based on samsung processor, but
not the 4510). it's worth a look!!

BTW, thanks for your corrected JTAG adapter (link from
seattlewireless 4510 page). we build it here, yesterday,
and it worked like a charm with both armtool and
openwince's jtag :-)
