Does this mean that we won't see custom FW's in the future ?
What do you guys think ?

im pretty sure people will still hack their routers in order to install openwrt on them when they try to prevent it. technically all you need to install openwrt in an unsupported device is to compile it for the right CPU and include the drivers which isnt impossible since chip manufacturers like broadcom provide them. Than its just a matter of getting the binaries onto the flash which if not possible on the device can be done using some kind of flash chip reader/writer.

That was my point. OpenWRT and other distros will all be affected by the same root cause.

Then they are simply late to the party. This relates to the same FCC rules for which I raised some huge warning flags nearly a year ago. At the time some people thought I was crazy, or even "compromised". Eh.

I thought asus issue was only related to them leaving TX Power up to the user.
