Probably not..
i haven't had a chance yet to test this build on my broadcom units - maybe later tonight or tomorrow, but so far with my atheros buffalo units SSHd fails, times out before you can ever log in, telnet still works however but i don't like using telnet - which i suspect sshd will fail on broadcom as well, though i could be wrong.

Can't get a SSH session on any of my Buffalo D1800H's or my test Asus AC66U which are running the GIGA builds. The routers are immediately closing the connections. Telnet works.
The serial console on the test AC66U is reporting failures with the ssh-rsa and the ssh-dss public keys. Error - File does not begin with OpenSSH key header. Don't know if this is a show stopper or not.
Noticed this new firmware is reporting much lower Wl0 and Wl1 temperatures by about 15 degrees C.
MTD is reporting an erase failure on the ddwrt partition of my test AC66U. Might be better for the firmware to use flash_erase when setting up JFFS.
Edit: Rolled back the firmwares on all the production routers and now SSH is working again. Will keep the new f/w on the test AC66U.
Upgraded (dd-wrt.v24-20801_NEWD-2_K2.6_std_usb_nas-nv60k.bin) to (dd-wrt.v24-21061_NEWD-2_K2.6_std_usb_nas-nv60k.bin)
e4200 - primary router/gateway
2.4Ghz (NG-mixed) with 20Mhz channel width => OK
5Ghz (N) with 40Mhz channel width => OK
SSH => NO, “Server unexpectedly closed network connection”
Port Forward => OK
WOL over the Internet => OK
USB storage mount to JFFS => OK
PPTP server => Ok
NoCatSplash => OK
e2000 - hard wired from e4200
5Ghz (N) with 40Mhz channel width => OK
e3000 – Repeater Bridge on 5 Ghz (N) with 40Mhz channel width to e2000
2.4 (NG-mixed) with 20Mhz channel width => OK

I am running version 21061 of dd-wrt.v24-21061_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv64k.bin on Linksys E900.
The only problem I'm struggling with is that I can't seem to be able to access the router remotely (from outside of my LAN) via web gui. The router does not respond on the port specified, even though I have the port forwarding configured correctly on my main home router.
I am using the E900 as an AP only (WAN disabled, DHCP Forwarder). Not sure if that has anything to do with it. Also not sure if this is build-specific. I just got this device and this is the only dd-wrt version that I've used on it so far.
Not sure if it's the router or not since this is the first build I've used but I can't seem to get any wifi speeds higher than 216.5Mbps on either 5GHz or 2.4GHz. After a quick googling this suggests to me that the 40MHz option isn't being applied in either Auto mode or 40MHz only mode.
Using dd-wrt.v24-21061_NEWD-2_K2.6_big-nv60k for 2 days now and it's been good for me. The missing features mentioned above doesn't affect me apparently. Using as a normal router and everything works just fine and dandy.
Maybe I changed something in the config (I reset everything this time) but getting a bit faster WIFI speeds when copying to 1Gbps LAN. Would lock at 13MB/s before, now pushing 15-18MB/s (for LAN to WIFI, WIFI to LAN has always been 22-25MB/s dunno!)
FYI - E4200 is 3x3 Router mated with a 3x3 Intel 6300AGN on 5Ghz WIFI so "450Mbps" link rate is being used.
Updated from stock firmware, everything appears to be working as intended. However, it should be noted that I don't use many of the advanced features - I use DD-WRT for its additional stability under heavy load.
I did note that I seemed to have the same Wi-fi speed as others, but I also noted that the wireless network which was reporting that speed was my 2.4Ghz network, not my 5Ghz network. (My 5Ghz network has a _5G at the end of it.)
Further tests with the wireless network in my situation would be less than fruitful as I have severe interference issues.
