Will do some research.. though the -mips mailing list looks deceptively empty! Addressing my original question, the banana pi fits, but I am unsure whether it will actually run fbsd 10/stable. The normal model (not pro) has no wifi, but that is nothing that a usb m/f cable, a small usb wifi dongle and a woktenna won't fix:-)
