I have asked ubnt to donate the hardware if that request gets lost in space.. I will purchase them... and donate them to stsp ... (they can afford to give it more than I can ) regarding the price point of the ap... they are mid range.. and affordable if you are deploying them commercially but they are more expensive than cheap (almost disposable comsumer grade routers) regarding the your comment previous donation.. I dont agree with your assertion, as such when one donates it is in trust that the foundation will centrally manage the funds.
the requests in want.html is a way for devs of asking the community if you have spare hardware lying around help a brother out ... it saves paper work and time ... and not in any way controversial. im not a dev or a member of the foundation, im someone who donates to the foundation money (monthly small contribution ) -beer -hardware and I try where I can(comercially justify it with my colleagues ) contract work to OpenBSD Devs im happy to keep doing so ...and think want.html is a useful way of connecting developers to users /vendors to and allow users if they so wish to directly help a developer. basically my past donations to the project dont give me the right to second guess the projects future requests for assistance.. peace out ...
