Right now I'm working on migrating from brcm-2.4 to brcm47xx which runs on the same routers and uses the newer open-source b43 driver. This makes use of the mac80211 subsystem, for which we already have support since ath9k uses this too.
OpenWrt trunk) and it's officially time to dump it in favor of brcm47xx.
This is very bad move. Too quick. Device which uses sflash on brcm-2.4 are not gonna work on brcm47xx eg. Motorola Wr850v2 and Ovislink Wl1600.
There is a my bug report: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/8598

Before Gargoyle I used DD-WRT, which uses the madwifi driver ath9k (TL-WR1043ND), which is unusable (slow speed and connection loss). That is one reason why I switched to the Gargoyle. I much prefer a stable wifi connection than color showing the signal strength, etc. ...
