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 in the files/ directory. Their statement regarding the source can be found here: "We do not support third party boot loaders and we do not provide source for the boot loader."
