We (Wireless Leiden) are considering participating -first time- in this
event. However, we use a different software configuration: no OpenWRT
but FreeBSD operating system with out own 'lvrouted' routing protocol.

We would have a problem with the proposed hardware as this is a MIPS
processor not an IA32 type. In our network we use PCEngines Alix2D13
boards as the core of our 'independent radio interfaces system'.
This configuration provides a lot of flexibility for using and comparing
various software and radio hardware configurations, but costs are higher.

Kind regards,
Huub
