It is just, that prior FON announced on the site that they used OpenWrt, and now 
they don't seem to announce anything in this regard anymore.
I know that there is still OpenWrt inside the Fonero-box's - I was just 
wondering why the public part of this reality seems to have disappered?
Maybe I should just ask on the OpenWrt IRC ...
