Bozos at the FCC know that these are just one form of computer, right?
I hope those bozos at the FCC figure out that routers are just low power computers. If someone really wants to violate the FCC regulations, they can just buy at small PC, Raspberry Pi, a dumb storage appliance, or pretty much anything, and drop their own kernel on it. All they're doing with these regulations is making life harder for people just trying to get some decent router software.
The FCC should concentrate on people who actually violate their regulations, not worry about "pre-crime."
