Well, I think we're missing some critical information and code in the 
release. While the code may compile and run, there are configuration 
options that would be greatly assisted if Actiontec could provide us with 
a copy of the .config that they use to build their production kernels. I 
do not believe that Actiontec is using the same code base they have 
released in their production loads.

What we need to do is create a bullet point list of information that we 
still need and provide it to Actiontec. Jason, for the remainder of the 
time that he is there, will do his best to get us what he can. He is 
moving to Monterey in April and won't be continuing with Actiontec.

Incidentally, if anyone is looking to hire a good engineer, I think I 
might know someone in the Montery area! ;)

Jason and I spoke this morning about the Flash Loader source code and 
wether it can be released, or if it is still under the Conexxant IP 
restriction. He was going to check on it.

He did mention that the Linux based Flash Loader code has been blessed 
for release, but he doesn't know wether it was included in the actual 
download archive. I'd take a look through that code and see if it is in 
there. If so, we might be able to use that to write a Windows based one.. 
Or.. just use the Linux one on the Development workstations that we're 
building the code from! ;)

Your insight might be really valuable, given the experience that you have 
with other platforms. Are you able to at least attempt a compilation given 
the information that we've compiled so far and let us know what you run 
into?
