I'd intended to install redsleeve on my AC100 but haven't got round to it (fully) yet as the wifi doesn't work with the minimal rootfs tarball thus preventing further progression of an install. I no doubt will get round to solving that but, as a consequence, I haven't really tried redsleeve. Thanks for all your efforts so far though. Cheers, Mike. -- Any question is easy if you know the answer!
