Not to split hairs, but I never claimed it was safe to run at 300Mhz. I said I have successfully run 2 routers at 300MHz and that temperature was not an issue.

I'll agree that I should have made the warning stronger. Enough said on this issue, I think.

I've not checked wl700ge cfe binary yet, but WL500gp @300Mhz requires 150Mhz at CPU backplane/memory and MII, compared with 132Mhz at @264Mhz.
It's the same in the wl700g kernel source I reviewed. Dunno about the bootloader.

Regarding bad/misconfigured nvram values... It would make sense for the bootloader to check whether or not the nvram reset button is pressed before configuring the clocks. That way, should a bad setting be entered, sane defaults would be applied at power-up.
