Netgear now touting open source WRT-compatible wireless router

[Arc Riley]

I agree completely, I'm not discounting the power of marketing hype!

It's a huge boon having products in stores listed as "Linux compatible",
even if fundamentally identical to the same product 6 inches away that costs
10% to 20% less.  Hopefully they'll see that people are cracking them open
to expand them, or need more flash/ram to really take advantage of them, and
answer this need in future products.
