I agree -- since a big part of my plan is to configure a tool chain as
part of the complete kit, I don't see that it matters much
either. It's dreadfully important that the development tool chain not
mix with the hosted system! (This stuff as a build engineer was
critical to me.)  You really don't want to use the generic built in
compiler and have it wander around pulling in #include files from
hither and yon!

If I move ahead with this I will have the full docs for the board so
smuggling them out of the factory in my lunch pail is not needed.

So much for grandiosity.

Meanwhile, I am fussing with my reflashed usr2450 wondering how anyone
manages to do anything useful with one... :-) I guess I have to dig
through email archives? Docs on openap site end with "welcome to
linux" and are totally missing on linuxap site. Sort want details like...
is it doing DHCP on the WLAN?? Is default config a P2P bridge? etc...
