If I recall when I looked at the open source firmware a month ago, the CM1000 has the drivers for a Broadcom chipset in the firmware.

This is a user to user forum with a few volunteer moderators. There never really are any "official" Netgear tech folks on here.
Go to the Netgear Open Source Code page I linked to in my earlier post. Download the file for the "CM1000-1CONAS." Extract the file and in it you will see "CM1000_RG_src.tar.gz"
Then extract that file and you will see in it all you need to prove the CM1000 has a Broadcom chip in it; specifically the BCM93390, which was announced by Broadcom at CES 2015.
