As noted by John Crispin on IRC, this unit is almost identical hardware-wise (just lacks battery) to HAME MPR-A1 for which he has already added full support. And devices that look very similar to MPR-A1 are available from ebay for just a little more than MIFI costs. I doubt they really have a 1800mAh battery inside but at least some battery is a nice bonus. Also, according to [1], the bootloader is not crippled and so one can avoid risking reflashing it. OTOH MPR-A1 has just 16M RAM while my MIFI came with 32M, so I would recommend double-checking with the seller the actual amount of RAM before buying (16M is certainly considered not enough for full OpenWrt experience). The image for MPR-A1 works nicely on this board so there's no sense adding it separately. The ethernet issue turned out to be the same that was discussed before, i.e. it works properly only when VLAN support is enabled; so failsafe mode is not accessible yet.
