Checked the entropy in an ARV4518pw (Lantiq Danube) running Attitude Adjustment
and the available
entropy was, more or less, between 300-400.
Found this link (http://vafer.org/blog/20071219173915/), so plugged a pendrive
and thanks to the
dwg-otg generated interrupts the entropy_avail increased a lot.
Pendrive plugged:

For some purposes maybe this is a serious problem.
Hope this information could be helpful.
