thoughts?
there’s one comment on the indiegogo page about the wifi chipsets there looking at using depending on sourcing.
not sure that it will be completely free software (inc (ie wifi)firmware & driver).
they don’t say what is definition of the "lifetime of the device" is, regarding updates for it?
2 years or 10?

I’m looking to get a decent, free software router.
come to think of it what about the eome-68 router? When eoma-68 isn’t going to have Ethernet?

yehh i know. that's the way it goes. i didn't want to remove the possibility of an eoma68 router at the lower-end cost but i figured, if there are USB3 SoCs out there later, they can always put in a multi-port GbE that way.
