No news that I'm aware of. Maybe check out Netgear R7800.

Almost 9 months later and this 40 year old pimply faced adolescent is respectfully requesting a status report. I think everyone has been more than adequately patient here to not illicit a condescending chastisement not 'being patient'.

I just emailed BrainSlayer. I will update when I get a response, unless he posts in this thread himself. If you read the previous status I posted, this device isn't going to be easy to port, and with ~7-800 currently supported devices along with all the bug reports and ongoing development, he's been kinda busy.
