FRITZ!Box 6591 Cable Support? #265

Hi, I was wondering whether there will be a firmware for the FRITZ!Box 6591 Cable? Some (long) time ago, the restriction on ISP issued cable modems was lifted. I would love to see features such as WPA Enterprise (wlan username password authentication) on the free available cable boxes as well.

You can get more details about the 6591 here: https://www.ip-phone-forum.de/threads/fb-6591-verschiedenes.303332/

The only known way (currently) to get a modified FW onto a box with the latest bootloader is desoldering the flash chip, program it externally and solder it onto the PCB again. Not many people will do that, so it isn't a priority to port Freetz to this box.

Accoring to fesc an updated bootloader version is able to flash via FTP, so a Freetz port could be possible.
