As I'm somehow allergic when I have to register for downloading Open Source, I hacked up a Makefile that retrieves and builds a home-brewed m2-capable toolchain (the advertised rpms only support m3 or even just m4). The toolchain consists of latest binutils (2.19.1) and newlib (1.17.0), but "only" gcc 4.3.3 as 4.4.0 drove the AP build into troubles: the =2Edata segment was reported to exceed the available space by a hundred bytes. So I switched one version back for now. On the other hand, the AP firmware doesn't work on my DWA-160a anyway ("device is in a bad state"), only the STA version (but that one dislikes my access point, just like the original firmware, though). Guess there is still enough room for improvements...
