The snapshot brcm47xx .trx
<http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/brcm47xx/openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx>
does not leave enough space remaining to install LuCI.

This may not be an issue on the released images where LuCI is included
in the squashfs, if it is gets better compression on squashfs than
jffs2.

Still, this is an issue.

Currently, I work around this issue by building an image using the
bgmac profile. This removes (a) the b43 legacy drivers (b) the other
(unnecessary) ethernet drivers.

It seems to be a good idea, therefore, to have additional image(s)
which correspond to the brcm47xx profiles, having only one ethernet
driver each. For example, there can be an image
openwrt-brcm47xx_bgmac-squashfs.trx for devices which use bgmac
ethernet drivers.

Also, as a further extension of this concept, the "easy-install"
images which are specific to certain devices should be built with the
required ethernet/wireless drivers ONLY, without the remaining drivers
which go unused.

Thanks for the good work :-)!
