Hmmmm,
I hesitate to give the "OFFICIAL" Karlnet response! ;)
My response is two parts:
1. Without question a Flashrom with a suitable motherboard (say 233Mhz or
faster) is better than our WPRG+ Board.
2. MY OPINION ONLY- Flashroms are sometimes a support nightmare, as every
motherboard has little quirks that make it act a little differently. So for
stability sake, I like the WPRG+ boards. BUT- if you get a motherboard that
you can work the bugs out of, it will out perform the WPRG+ board.

Subject: [Karlnet] Flashrom Question
I am trying to settle on using the new WPBase boards for Flashrom for a new
tower. My experience so far has been AP1000's only. I think the AP1000's
are 66Mhz and the WPBase is 133MHz.
I guess I am just wondering since Karlnet designed their own hardware at
133Mhz and the limit is 64 clients on any hardware, is there any real
performance/throughput gain to be had from going the Flashrom route? If so,
what is the limit in terms of processor speed, etc. where the law of
diminishing returns kicks in.
What is the official line on this from Karlnet? Since the new Karlnet
boards are so recently designed, do they represent the peak performing
platform for an ISP Base Station or is too much never enough?
