If I were able to get QoS working on it (I haven't been), there's a possibility I might put this to use as my main router.

But considering that that's a long shot for me (I'm not exactly one to go around building my own linux kernels and such, though I'm not necessarily opposed to trying...) I'm looking for ideas about fun projects to try with it.

I know there's a group working on neighborhood mesh networks, and would be super psyched to experiment if there's anybody within range of my house! (Adeline betw. 32nd and 34th.) Unfortunately I can't make Thursday evening meetings, or I'd come check in with you guys in person.

Any other fun projects anybody would suggest?

Also, as long as I'm on the topic -- I have a few network devices I'm not currently using, and would gladly loan/donate (or in the case of the last 2, maybe sell for a few bucks) to anybody looking to hack on them (or just put them to use).
