How to find information about the chipsets in the device?
There are several ways to find out what chipsets are used. The easiest one is if there is an FCC-ID at the back of the device. With this ID you can check at FCC.gov for the device. If it's not a fake (what can happen in far east) you will find various technical information and pictures of the routers main board.
If you don't find information there you can also open the device and take a look by yourself - but be aware that you will likely loose warranty by doing this.
With the chipset(s) identified (manufacturer & model) we can now go to the next step.
and looked at the FCC site with the only pictures bing the ones above.
I don't have the pictures in front of me, but, if i remember correctly this is the info from the IC's on the board (on mine) starting from bottom left (the small one by the antenna connection) and going clockwise:
Atheros
AR9285-AL1A
D09277C
1017
*****
MX B101736
25L3205DM(I OR 1)-12g

These 2 below are the ones inside the larger metal casing...

A10ANC43
TAIWAN -G5 (noted because of the "-G5")
There was word that Brainslayer added support for the 7241/7242. No real update on that since. The 7241/42 radio is supported by OpenWRT and Gargoyle, and does work on the 601A1, but without LED support that was working in the DD-WRT 615E1 build.

I'm up and going, seems to be running well so far.
The only thing I've noticed yet is that the radio seems to be stuck in G mode. None of the settings seem to permit it in N-mode, setting it to N-only results in not being able to connect wirelessly at all.
Front lights seem to work, haven't got around to the buttons yet.
All in all, it's really nice to finally have DD-WRT up and running on this box.
