Installing the tools and firmware and building was pretty straight forward,  Though documentation is pretty fragmented.   

Upgrading the firmware with firefox 3.0.3 didn't work, and there is no mention in any documentation unless you search for it in the forums.  Seems to me it needs to be fixed;  Since the crossplatform method is usually cleaner than the IE only method, I can't tell you how many asian firmware builds I've fixed with this problem.

It would be nice to have a layout document on where everything is

IE  '~/bcm5354/project/acos/www/html'

is where the HTML is sourced from.

It would be nice if the firmware stock had 'wget' 'touch' 'top'.

Not having wget is a pain, because I'd rather wget my binaries to the ramfs and test them instead of having to do a build.  

I'm sure there will be more, but thats my first impression.

Vi and Telnet should be added also. At minimum VI

FYI I figured out that most of the stuff is in the source and with a quick edit of this
file:
bcm5354/src/router/busybox/Config.h

You can turn on vi, telnet, wget, and touch and many more.

So now I'm happier.

Good to know that you could fix it in the source code and thanks for sharing it.
