Hi Adrian,

I can help try it, but I must confess I am closer to pf then to ipfw :)

And for that router, I have two cable ISP's at home, so no pppoe for now. Just dhcp will do.

Is the usb usable ? can we use it for more storage ?

On past I tried to fiddle with kernel config, so is possible to add pf on it and cross my fingers ? :)

Are both 2.4 and 5GHz radios fine ? Back there it would freeze it :(

thanks for the answer and mostly for all the great work (you and all freebsd mips/arm team)
