Hello.  So far, it has been determined that these routers all have
interchangeable firmware (on the dd-wrt forum, users have
cross-flashed the vendor firmware for all models):  Trendnet
TEW-632BRP, TEW-652BRP, DLink DIR-615 revision C1.  All share the same
structure for firmware file with an ID at the very end of the binary.
The DLink and Trendnet FCC ID and SDK also point to the Cameo
Communications WLN2206 being identical hardware, but haven't had
anyone confirm cross-flash.

>From what I can tell, the GPL vendor downloads for these routers only
include a compiled binary driver for Linux 2.6.15 kernel.  Here is the
relevant boot from the DLink DIR-615 C1 boot off serial port (DLink
firmware):

===============

The key message that jumps out at me is the "wifi0: Atheros AR9100
WiSoC: mem=0xb80c0000, irq=2".  As this is the AR9102 chip we are
after.

Thank you.
