I think i have to resolve a missunderstanding i just heard to often. AirOS is not really based on OpenWRT. Ubiquiti claims that since years but it is actually not true. They are using a very outdated branch of the OpenWRT buildroot but never used many of the packages from OpenWRT. They even have an own base-file package. They always had completly different kernel versions and the Webinterface is written in PHP which runs on a patched version of lighttpd. The latter also has this strange mod-airos which btw was the reason for a security incident a few years back. Nearly nothing which you would expect on an OpenWRT works on AirOS. I wouldn't call this 'based on OpenWRT'. Frankly i'm actually quite happy that the stopped the SDK as it was always a pain in the ass to change the simplest thing. Don't get me wrong i don't want to start a flame ware. I still think that Ubiquiti builds good hardware and admit that AirOS has some nice features but you shouldn't call AirOS 'based on OpenWRT' nor should you think that modifing AirOS is easy or, since they dropped the SDK completly, even possible any more. regards christian
