> But just out of random curiosity, what's the advantage of using OpenWRT? I can't remember the exact reason, maybe it was because then the "bootloader" is completely decoupled from the main OS which makes upgrading kernels etc easier. It was about 5 years ago I set it up. I should add, all the Debian initramfs work has been contributed by various people over the years - full credit to people such as the Debian maintainers, currently Guilhem Moulin.

All I know for sure is that many moons ago I would have loved this feature, could have probably done it myself at great great great effort but didn't want to, and now, hey, here it is :) progress!! As for decoupling and lowering complexity... <tiny voice> occasionally i miss LILO... </> I've been paging through the code (dropbear) so far, very clear. Glad that there's TCP forwarding, as it opens the door to another possible solution in search of a problem. Namely, with USB over IP tunneled through dropbear, a user would have the ability to plug in a yubikey or some sort of challenge response device. ; ) Also, I sent you a note.
