> Can anyone recommend a vulnerability scanner for broadband router CPE such as Netopia, Flowpoint, Siemens? It looks like none of the big names like Nessus do this..

IMHO there are too many firmware revisions, too many flaws and not
enough business for such a vulnerability scanner ...

For example, the Linksys WRT54G comes in 4 families with 10 hardware
revisions and numerous firmware sub-revisions ...

It would be just like tracking every XSS flaw :)
