[MLB-WIRELESS] MWRP router selection (AKA: asus 550ge $49 from MSY VIC!!!!)

[Tyson Clugg]

While the WL-500GP is a nice piece of kit, I'd prefer that we sourced an
802.3af power-over-ethernet compliant device with decent specs for
running MWRP.

If we go with a pivotroot system paired with USB flash, we'd want the
following features:
 - 4MB flash (pivotroot onto usbfs negates the need for anything bigger)
 - USB 2.0
 - minimum 64MB RAM
 - crypto accelerator would be nice, not essential.
 - 802.3af POE
 - low cost

I'm not sure if USB 2.0 and 802.3af are mutually exclusive by virtue of
USB 2.0 requiring 500mA per port and 802.3af only supplying about 12.9W
of usable power... can anyone clear this up for me?  Otherwise, POE+
(802.3at) delivers up to 56W of power BUT hasn't been ratified yet.  :(

The Wikipedia POE page has some good info:

Cheers,
Tyson.

PS: Committee folk - AGM reminder please???
