Ubiquiti is normally really open to hacking there device. They don't
really care which software you use as long as the sell the hardware. You
can install easilly OpenWRT on the're current wireless M5 serie just by
pushing it via TFTP in safe recovery mode. The accept third party
firmware. Same thing could be done on the're last router, the
routerstation and routerstation pro that came with OpenWRT as OS.
The CPU will be MIPS64, I'm not sure if OpenBSD support and it's hard to
tell from this page :
http://www.openbsd.org/plat.html
The disk space will be 2 GB so more then enough for OpenBSD.
For 99$, even without accelerator, this hardware will probably be more
performant than alix and soekris (excluding the new 6501 atom platform).
With OpenWRT, I add better performance result using routerstation pro
with 680 Mhz Atheros CPU than using Alix 2D3.
One thing to know is that the probably won't help by giving spec or
anything to help develope the driver if somebody try to port OpenBSD to it.
Anyway, Ubiquiti product are always annonced at less 6 month before the
available on the market and a product annonced 1 1/2 years ago is still
not on the market.

The Edge Router Lite looks to be a sweet box:
http://www.ubnt.com/edgemax
Dual-core MIPS64 processor with hardware acceleration for packet
processing and encryption/decryption.
Only 99 USD, wonder if OpenBSD can run on it and take advantage of the
hardware acceleration.
