Thanks for working on those guys Adrian!  I've always avoided these type
of "small box" routers: few years ago their CPU would typically not being
able to saturate even 100Mbit/s; recently they became powerful enough, but
having to run OpenWRT made me always prefer to fetch some Mendocino-based
board from the back-yard junk and install FreeBSD to get a decent router.

Good to know that soon I could simply get one of those small, fanless Gbit
Chinese switches instead (and I'd probably run out of Mendocinos anyways
by that time :-).
