The B revision was a short run Ubicom unit that isn't supported by dd-wrt or openwrt. You'll never see one in real life. Incidentally, it's also a pile of crap.
Qasi will know from his forays into the SH. Aren't the antennae in the SH glued on or something as cheapskate? Didn't they reduce the number of antennae from the standard CG3101D? Isn't it just the sotry of the SH? Cut out good stuff to get the cost down?
