System Requirements

Operating Systems:

• Linux 2.4.20 kernel

Hardware:

• BCM94712AGR Base Reference Design.

Known Limitations or Problems with Current Release

• Boot Loader: The new boot loader - CFE - does not handle downloading of images greater than 4M Bytes.
• Boot Loader: A flash chip greater than 4MBytes is not recognized by CFE.
• Linux: WDS does not work when the routers are configured for WPA.
• Linux: When changing the country code of the locale in the wireless page other parameters that were changed on the page will change back to the original value.
• VxWorks: WDS does not work with the PIO version of the router.

What's New in Release 3.51.21.6?

• Linux: Adds support for Afterburner. There is a new board flag used to indicate Afterburner capability.  The wireless web page will indicate an Afterburner GMode if the hardware is capable of supporting this mode.

What's New in Release 3.51.21.0?

• Linux: Adds support for the BCM94712AGR.
• Linux: Supports an external ADMTech 6996 VLAN chip on the ethernet interface.

What's New in Release 3.41.21.0?

• Linux: Supports multiple WAN interfaces over multiple PHYs. Multiple PPPoE interfaces can be created over a single PHY. 
• Linux: Added support for USB gadget device to provide embedded USB device support.
• Linux: Optimized performance on the BCM94702 based boards when enabling XPress Technology.
• Linux: Optimized the router for better performance when handling clients that are in power save mode.
• Linux: Optimized TKIP performance.
• Linux: Support for Dualband C0 Reference Designs. 3.30.15 Supported C0 single band designs.
• Linux: Re-vamped locales in favor of countries. Locales have been moved to an internal driver concept. It will be much easier for end users to use the country they are in. Old SPROM settings for default "locale" will still be honored. Over time, external configuration of locales will go away. Selection via an actual country name has a better fit for 802.11h as well as Windows own internal tracking of location.
• Linux: Augmented the auto channel selection algorithm to dynamically choose the best channel when no clients are associated to it.
• Linux: The router now reports the up-time on the status page.
• Linux: Added the '54g Only' rate to the hidden internal page for WECA 802.11g testing.
• Linux: Fixed a rare case where changing the interface on the WAN side from a Static IP / DHCP to PPPoE on the same network required rebooting the router for the packets to go out on the PPPoE connection.
• Boot Loader: Fixed the legacy boot loader- PMON - to enable it to download images greater than 3M
• Boot Loader: Added support for the AMD Mirro-Bit 2M and 4M flashes

• Linux & VxWorks: In client driver releases prior to 3.10.39.0, when an AP in a BSS network enables g-protection via Info Element 47, throughput will be very low. Connectivity is still enabled so that a user may upgrade to a later driver.
• Linux: Added a LAN lease time GUI element
• Linux: Fixed a bug where changing the "Bridge Restrict" mode, from enabled to disabled (or the other way around), during an established WDS session would cause WDS bridging to fail.
• Linux: Full WECA tests executed at BRCM

 What's New in Release 3.11.30.5?

  • 54G-Only is the same as 54G-Auto, but will not allow 11b STA's to associate, and will still fall back into long slot in the presence of 11b nets.
  • BRCM-54G-Only is hard coded for short slot, will not fall back to long slot in the presence of 11b nets. This mode should only be used under controlled environments as it will out-compete long slot networks.
