for the BR404W is included in the GPL code package provided by Gigabyte.
CONFIG_SH_7751R_GIGABYTE_PLATFORM is set in the kernel config.

It is assumed to be using the same SH4 CPU (Renesas HD6417751R) used by the BR404W.

The latest firmware for the device is using the Linux 2.4.20 kernel.

Default settings (including the SSID) are per Gigabyte's manual.

Reviews

The Gigabyte logo, "GC-A17GU", and "REV 1.1" is silkscreened on the top of the board.
A date code of 0352 (December 2003) appears to be etched onto the bottom of the board.
Renesas SH7751R based, as expected; TI PCI 1410 PC Card Controller
2x ICSI RAM (IC42S16400-6T?); Realtek RTL8100BL PCI 100M Controller
WiFi: Atheros AR5002G (Super-G) chipset; Retail price of $108 US
