/usr/local is a wasteland on OS X. Package installers love to dump stuff in there blindly. This leads to fun-to-debug problems where two different things are overwriting files in there and blowing up because of version mismatch

FWIW, Cisco sold Linksys to Belkin. I guess slapping Cisco logos all over poorly-designed Linksys home networking products didn't do anything especially positive for people's perception of Cisco.
