The vanilla bcm47xx code only support the old-style: BCM47xx and BCM53xx family of System-on-Chip. The new style SoC like BCM4716 and BCM4718 are still work in progress both for mainline kernel and for OpenWrt kernels. > > I'm a little bit lost whit the start point.

Since patches for BCM4716 and BCM4718 have been posted to the linux-mips mailing-list, it would be easier to just throw them in target/linux/brcm47xx/patches-3.0/ and rebuild a kernel with the appropriate options. -- Florian _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
