  Hi all,
 I'm sharing this info in case other communities outside of Newport
 Wireless Mesh may find it useful. The Aruba AP175 is a high-power, stable,
 electrically protected outdoor access point that I recently ported to
 OpenWrt, and I hope other communities might get good use out of it. It's
 old hardware, but very available, and for multiple reasons will likely
 enjoy long-term supportability (ath9k, 128M RAM / 16M NOR).
 Newport Wireless Mesh will continue to use Aruba AP175s that I have
 personally flashed.
 Van Tech Corner (THANK YOU, VAN!) did a video explaining how, given an
 Aruba AP175 in unknown state, we can use a Raspberry Pi or CH341A and
 16-pin Pomona chip clip to reflash the Aruba AP175 to a custom U-Boot
 compatible with OpenWrt 23 and onwards:
