However, I'd like to deploy at least one FreeBSD-based access point as well -- does it actually run well as an AP on the cheap TP-Link hardware often discussed on this list, e.g. the TL-WDR4300? Is it possible to squeeze a functioning system into the 8-16 MB flash? Thanks in advance. -- Sean Hamilton
