Thanks, Piotr Kubaj. > Hi Piotr, Well, its kind of supported but there is no driver for the NAND on it, which means you can boot from NAND yet. Also i'm not sure what is the wifi chip on it cannot say if it supported or not. I've some routerboards from the 4xx series (433UAH, 450, 450G) and they all work fine (booting over NFS). There are a few options out there to address the installation size footprint (crochet, zrouter, etc.) and USB storage is also an option. I'm (very) interested in fully support all that models (RB4xx and RB7xx), but it may take a while (i've a bunch of things to work on right now, but feel free to poke me from time to time until i get it done).
