A patch was recently submitted to the OpenWrt project adding support for another Marvell device (Check Point L-50W). I was able to acquire a NOS device from ebay for $35 plus shipping. Specs are as follows:

  • CPU: Marvell Kirkwood 88F6281 @ 1.2GHz
  • RAM: 512MB
  • Flash: 512MB NAND
  • USB: 2x USB 2.0
  • SD Card Slot
  • ExpressCard/34 slot
  • LAN: 9 Gigabit Ports (2x Marvell 88E6171)
  • WAN: 1 Gbe (Marvell 88E1116R)
  • RJ-45 Serial Console @ 115200 8n1
  • Optional: mPCIe WiFI w/ Atheros AR9287 (bgn)

My device is an L-50W and has the wifi, don't know if the L-50 has the PCIe slot populated without a WiFi card or not. I have an L-50 on the way and will soon find out. I'll soon plan to use the OpenWrt patches to build a Debian Kernel this weekend and will post results. It will be interesting if the ExpressCard slot will support some of the USB 3 or SATA adapters available.
