To note,=20 NetBSD seems to have this going to multi-user with networking - so there = is something to reference at least. OpenBSD is fully support on it's = predecessor, the RB600A ( but they haven't got back to me on this - 4 = days+, which means, officially, I'm committing AT LEAST 2 boards up for = development to freeBSD. At least y'all seem interested. ) Power for these, at least how I've used them, is 48V POE - I might be = able to supply an injector - working on it. They will run off a generic = AC adapter - I have the specs.=20 cheers -bp On Sep 20, 2013, at 9:49 PM, Adrian Chadd <adrian@freebsd.org> wrote: >=20 >=20 >=20 > On 20 September 2013 21:46, Benjamin Perrault <ben.perrault@gmail.com> = wrote: > Yes.

I noticed it's on the embedded want list on the wiki - so that's = a start - and it's a nice platform that could use from a proper OS ( = not awful proprietary RouterOS or a linux flavor ). While netbsd has = support for it, it's not something I use regularly. Additionally, work/a = port on this - it will probably work on the MikroTik RB1100 and RB1100ah = ( at least from looking at netbsd/linux code & mailing lists I've looked = at ) and possibly a few more MPC8544 based boards - so there is = additional merit beyond just this I think. >>=20 >> While I would love to attempt this port myself - I fear I lack the = apptitude ( and don't want to spew out some nasty hack ).
