Newegg Shell Shocker mentions Open Source

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

Twice a day, newegg.ca has a special they call a "SHELL SHOCKER" (egg, 
shell, get it?).

The one at the moment is "Rosewill RNX-GX4 IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g 
Wireless-G Broadband Router / Open Source & DD-WRT Firmware support" for 
$25.99, including shipping.

I've never before seen mainstream vendors mention open source in title of 
a product.

This isn't a router I would buy.  It is obsolete because it doesn't do N.  
It uses a Broadcom chip, so its openness is limited.

Bewawa is selling an N router for only$5 more at the moment:

Not yet working with OpenWRT but it looks as if people are trying

Only supports the 2.4GHz band and the LAN is only 100M.  More money will 
get you a still better choice.
