Hello Gary, thanks for the quick reply.
Okay, this is a Ubiquiti RouterStation Pro, based on the Atheros
AR7161. I wouldn't wonder if the redboot sources were originally
supplied by Atheros, but this is pure speculation.
The RedBoot identifies itself as:
RedBoot(tm) bootstrap and debug environment [ROMRAM]
Ubiquiti Networks certified release, version 0.9.00318M.0905121200 -
built 12:01:38, May 12 2009

I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Jonas Gorski
