Hello,

It has come to my attention that the recently discontinued WD My Net
line of dual-band routers is just about the best bang for the buck --
they're currently selling N900 (w/ 8x GigE and 256MB of RAM) for 49,99
USD at Staples, or 39,99 USD if you order it in person from the store
with the 20% in-store coupon, off from the original price of 149,99
USD.  This firesale appears to come and go since late 2013, even
before the whole line was discontinued in early 2014 (for example,
Staples still appears to have some N750 left, but it's not on sale
this week, unlike N900).

  http://www.staples.com/WD-My-Net-N900-HD-Dual-Band-Router/product_937135

However, N900 it's not supported by OpenWRT -- the whole Ubicom IP8K
platform is not supported.

Is there a reason for that?

What would it take to add the support?

WD My Net N900 looks like just about the best piece of hardware over
at http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start list, this repeated firesale
price of 39,99 USD is just insane and is easily 3x less than the
competition -- might be a good motivator for adding support to
OpenWRT.

Cheers,
Constantine.
