What I am actually looking for is the smallest/cheapest minimum
possible box with an ath9k in it.

I assume you've seen this list https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Ath9k

I'm starting to play with mikrotek devices.  routeros is a consultants
full employment program so replacing it would be nice.

Let me know how things go. I'd be interested in sponsoring (or at least helping 
to provide hardware for) this sort of work.

I'm most interested in the crs125 or similar series of switches, it looks like a 
good number of their devices are supported already.

I *knew* I was in the wrong business and backing the wrong play here.
It is long past time that I start taking advantage of broken window
economics. It would keep a roof over my head and the lights on, and
affect the economy less, as building systems that worked well more of
the time, as we keep trying to do here, would put so many out of work.

Assuming I can find enough consulting work, I want to spend some time
building a better way of interfacing with these devices. The vendor
supplied web interface is equivalent to someone giving you a big pile
parts and saying, here's a low-cost car, You just need to put it
together yourself.

I want to focus on a task oriented interface where its notation is built
on what we as network developers use, not what the capabilities of the
device are. I did before with IP cop, I think I can do it again for more
complex device. If I do it right, it should be able to be a good
interface for any switch/firewall.

 for too long, people have made network infrastructure device user
interfaces complicated. It's time to make them simple.

I may have some ideas on that score…

Are they still lying about GPL. Mikrotik used to have several kernel drivers
which they label as GPL (to access symbols), but there was no source available.

I've seen no sign of references to gpl code let alone the actual code.
