[Mesh] Wifi gear

[Jeremy Entwistle]

Maybe somebody can clear this up, but what does supported hardware mean? I
was expanding our walkthrough this weekend by trying to build my own
openWRT image with Buildroot. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought
we mainly needed openWRT with the appropriate drivers in the image. If not,
then what else? (IPsec for tunneldigger, etc.)

Pete brought a router that wasn't on the supported hardware list because it
had been a revised router. It was a D-Link 601 B1 and he had a custom built
openWRT image he found on the internet. A lot of my interest with the
project is people being able to repurpose their routers, either
automatically with software, or manually through a comprehensive guide.
Ideally middle school/high school kids should be able to convert their
routers.

In other words, if you plan on not keeping these routers around, I would
rather use them to test firmware builds. Sorry Pete, I don't want to brick
your router. :P Also, I'm interested in expanding the walkthrough more at
this week's hack night if anybody is interested.
