Hi James
   This is what I have done

1: Created a folder [all intel platform specific modules went in to this folder]
        openwrt/intel

2: Added that in to make menuconfig

That gave us the flexibility of showing the proprietary modules inside a 
separate entry in the menuconfig options. So it was easy to configure and also 
do source code scans. So I asked if that kind of support built in to openwrt 
build system would be a nice to have feature.

I think you can just use a custom package feed. That's how I've done 
it(although I don't use it for proprietary code so much as out of tree 
packages).

Hi
   I worked with Qualcomm and Intel on their networking chipsets and they are 
using openwrt on their systems. But one thing I noticed is unlike Android where 
they support adding proprietary source code in the build system, openwrt is not 
so flexible. 
 
Is there any plans for openwrt to add a folder inside openwrt build system 
where companies can add their source code and its automatically included in the 
build environment? Having that support will make it easy to adopt openwrt on 
many chipsets.
