Thanks very much for the confirmation.   I did arrive at the above
conclusion after reading a few threads from the forums.  Although I am
technical enough to build a kernel, I am not that familiar with the
openWRT build process to create a custom image (I will download the
SDK and read through the RTFMs at a later time).

For the shorter term (eval), I am blowing away the installed OS on the
HDD and then experiment with the prebuilt images.  I hope it does have
support for the BCM4318 WiFi chip in AP mode.
