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.

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. >>> >>> 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 ). So extending the offer of hardware is what I can contribute. The boards are located in San Francisco, but i can ship to most places without to much problem ( though anyone local I'll treat to a few pints as well for the endeavor - pre, during and post ). >>> >>> So if anyone is SERIOUSLY interested in the FreeBSD development team ( I don't like to see hardware go to waste ) - please let me know / contact me.
