*** BETA RELEASE ***
The OpenWrt Team would like to announce a beta of the next major release, codenamed Backfire. Testing of this build will help refine the code in preparation of the final release.
Binaries can be downloaded at http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03-beta/
Highlights:
* brcm-2.4 updated to 2.4.37 kernel
* other targets updated to 2.6.30 or 2.6.32
* gcc updated to 4.3.3 for arm/mips targets, 4.4.3 for powerpc
* uClibc updated to 0.9.30.1
* b43 wireless driver for Broadcom 11g chipsets on the 2.6 kernel

new targets:
* brcm63xx – Broadcom ADSL modem/routers chipset
* cobalt – MIPS-based servers from Cobalt Networks
* orion – Marvell Orion devices
Known Issues:
* ipv6 resolution via uClibc can produce segfaults
* busybox httpd occaisionally segfaults or hangs, but luci uses lucid instead of httpd by default. kill -9 should be used if it refuses to die
* luci is still being worked on for this release, some configuration is missing, partiuclarly switch config and 802.11n options
Note: We said we’d tell you when brcm47xx should work for those of you with Broadcom wireless, the time is now, start testing.
