Dan,

alex let me do a small ssh session on one of your waveloeten-evenings 
(berlin, c-base, wednesdays). The box is a bit bigger than a Fonera. Maybe 
that's the reason why it is not getting that much hot. Comparable features, 
besides meraki adds some power-over-ethernet and not beeing picky about ssh 
/ firmware upgrades. The serial flash is slow / same bad starup time than 
fonera. When started CPU performance is ok. But: forget about the $50. 
Merakis will be sold for (much?) more.

Has anyone here seen the Meraki Mini mesh router?

The size of a playing card, 180MHz MIPS CPU, 8MB Flash, 60mW radio, PoE and
wide DC voltage tolerance.  Pretty much perfect for mesh networking.  And
under their Beta program they cost US$50.

A reveiw of it here:

OpenWRT source code here:

Seems a lot easier than hacking a La Fonera, and more functional too.

Cheers,

Dan
