VxWorks Support for Netgear WGR614L

Has anybody replaced the orginal Linux with Vxworks to WGR614L (maybe WGR614vx)?

First, VxWorks is not

First, VxWorks is not opensource and not free.So, this is very hard technically and probably will violate copyright laws and\or VxWorks license.

Second I see no big clue to replace fully-featured Linux with dumb small OS without rich network features which is designed to run on cheapest hardware, not to be well-featured. VxWorks only installed to save couple cents due to a bit smaller RAM and Flash can be used in device (though, Linux has been squeezed to fit into 2Mb flash and 8Mb RAM too but it also loses lots of good features then).VxWorks devices may be a bit cheaper due to smaller (and cheaper) RAM and flash ICs, however this also results in awfully crippled device features set.
Linux was alswas fully-featured network OS. With VxWorks you will get only very basic set of features.
