Support a fully open hardware router (does not yet exist).
Support an open hardware router (does not yet exist, though a Beagle Bone Black with an Atheros Chipset is probably as close as we're likely to get soon).
 
= Fifth milesone =
 
Support an even more open hardware router, possibly with everything implemented with FPGAs and DACs. Possibly not even limited to the wifi standard.
