Cubieboard2 has dual Cortex-A7 SoC, but SMP support is not there yet so it is slow. You could try 3G usb dongle and usb wifi on it, but you have to have powered usb hub, since cubieboard has only 2 usb ports. It may or may not work depending from those drivers availability. > or the comming UDOO board (http://shop.udoo.org/pre-order/udoo-quad.html) > to have a gateway / firewall on this device and between the other 2 devices > ? > UDOO seems to have i.MX6 SoC which support is not in src tree yet, although ian@ is working on it iirc. > > I don't want to run a full system (including GUI) on it - ok, if it works > why not.

But please note that if I'm correct we don't have FreeBSD with graphics running yet on any tablet. Correct me if I'm wrong here. Ganbold > ? > > Thanks for your answer. > > Regards, > > C.
