Title: Wireless Router Based On PowerVixxen LT
Post by: asian1 on January 23, 2006, 12:23:30 PM

http://www.routerboard.com/rb500.html

The latest version of DIY router board is based on MIPS 4Kc CPU (333 MHz).

Is it possible to create headless (without video) router based on PowerVixxen LT, with Linux, WaveSat/Delta WiMax MiniPCI card and built in Gbps ethernet interface?

What about performance / price comparison with rb500?

Nope, they spend all the money on flashy TFT screens and gigaherz gigabyte computers, those routers aren't that flashy to outsiders :lol:

No we have to toy with 8 bit procs with a minimal instruction set, to get us tough at assembly :-)
