I look at the ports and I am sure this is NOT a modem.
It has four RJ45 + WAN RJ45 port + USB (1.1) port.
Ok, that is a bit better pictures than on the FCC site, you are right that it doesn't have a built in modem.
The switch and the radio is supported by dd-wrt but the cpu is not, it belongs to Broadcoms xDSL series of cpu's and there is no public available information on it, not even the usual Broadcom product brief. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
I plan to solder the J-Tag and post the whole flash. I need to confirm that I can use mini-build and some CFE as the kernel and bootloader under this BCM6359 CPU.

I would like to take the risk of bricking this router. I think BCM chip should be compatible with the old ones. Plus, the source code has been posted online. I think we have better chance there.
First, I will try to Jtag
1. backup the CFE twice .
2. backup the wholeflash twice,
3. erase the wholdflash
4. install new CFE from dd-wrt of course.
See what happens.

Just because a device has broadcom doesn't mean you can just flash dd-wrt onto it. It is far more complex than that. If the router isn't listed as supported, you can try, but you can also brick it easily. Most recently supported devices take a lot of hard work, in spite of the chipsets. Even supported devices have to be flashed properly, with correct builds, for that router.
So, bottom line, if it isn't supported you likely cannot flash it with dd-wrt. See note 16 of the peacock announcement.
I use urjtag to detect the chip and it is quite successful.

Yeah probaly going to be alot of interest now that a billion people bought some of these for $6.50 .
So if i compiled this from the source code available can i upload the firmware like normal through the web interface without problems.

I just wanted to post and say that I also picked up a few of these routers and would love to have the ability to use the currently crippled (thanks Verizon ) USB functionality. Hopefully someone can recompile (or whatever the tech. term) the original firmware or provide DD-WRT compatibilty.
