Hello, please don't flame me if this is a redundant question, but I'm 
new to embedded linux and I didn't see anything about it in the archives.

My current firewall solution is an old Pentium 1 system running 
Wolverine from Vortech Consulting with a slowly dying hard drive. I'm 
looking for alternative firewall solutions and have been curious of ads 
for embedded linux systems like RouterBoard 532 in Linux Journal 
Magazine. At only $169 for a RouterBoard 532 with case and power supply, 
I'd really like to get one and try to load LEAF-Wisp on it, but from 
what I've read it seems like the board only supports it's own RouterOS 
and comes with RouterOS level3, which doesn't support wireless AP mode 
unless you upgrade to level 5, which I'd rather not pay money for a 
proprietary software license. Can anyone confirm whether or not 
LEAF-Wisp will work with this hardware? If not, what hardware would you 
recommend for under $200 with support for 2-3 ethernet ports and 
expansion support for wi-fi card/s?

Thanks in advance!
