I've purchased one, but I don't have the openwrt experiance to bootstrap this. I have built my own openwrt images for the 3700v2 and 3800 and have been using Linux since the 0.99 kernel days, so I am very comfortable mucking with kernel compile options. If someone is willing to coach me through the process, I'd be happy to do the experimentation. David Lang
