I did have a look at that. The problem I find with all these "cheap" boards is that the cost adds up when you include an enclosure, power supply, etc. Also, if you actually want to distribute something commercially I presume the complete product would have to be certified to some standards (FCC, etc). So the advantage of something like a commercially available product (like a print server or router) is that it is cheaper when all the components are included in the cost, and it has been certified to use in home, etc. Cheers, Brendan. _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
