Hello Gary, thanks for the quick reply.

Okay, this is a Ubiquiti RouterStation Pro, based on the Atheros
AR7161. I wouldn't wonder if the redboot sources were originally
supplied by Atheros, but this is pure speculation.

The RedBoot identifies itself as:

RedBoot(tm) bootstrap and debug environment [ROMRAM]
Ubiquiti Networks certified release, version 0.9.00318M.0905121200 -
built 12:01:38, May 12 2009

Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 Red Hat, Inc.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Jonas Gorski

P.S:
An earlier build, although not the shipped one can be found in
<http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/RS/RS-r1665-BETA/RSx.ar7100.OpenWrt.r15349M-BETA.tgz>
in the files/ directory.

Their statement regarding the source can be found here:
<http://www.ubnt.com/forum/showpost.php?p=24865&postcount=2>
"We do not support third party boot loaders and we do not provide
source for the boot loader."
