Yes.  Read their website on flash chips.

It's a type of NOR flash chip.  We have no idea what it's usage is in
Linksys.  Especially given that Linksys is a company, so it could be
used for a variety of things.

Strataflash can be used with several filesystems, including JFFS2,
assuming there is an underlying device driver in MTD that can talk to
it.

CF flash doesn't show up as real flash.  It shows up as an IDE device.
 Intel flash is a raw flash chip and it's up to a board designer to
determine how it is addressed.
