I'm not a MAC/PHY guy, but the insight they use of substituting LUTs for
real algorithmic modulators seems to be
  a keen way to trade CPU cycles for memory.   If they haven't already
patented that (note that M$ was involved), then
  I think it would be a fine thing to perform some flattery :-)

The PCIe-x8 interface sounds kind of yummy as well.   The other
stuff--well, rather ordinary.

SIMD                                   Gnu Radio has this
Multi-core ready                   Gnu Radio has this

Next?
