yes, nice devices! we mesh with these in leipzig since some months. 
(olsr, only ipv4, no autoconfig, clientsplash, webserver, no https, no 
ppp/pppoe) pre-build firmware via openwrt imagebuilder..

here is some space left on flash and so we are able to install webcam OR 
soundoutput OR of course i already tested ext-root to expand the disc 
and install many more packages to usb-stick.


many people ask "how many hours are these devices working" so i made 
some first tests: http://twitpic.com/cro4ok

additional hardware will lower the battery-runtime, so basic functions 
should be useable without that.
built-in wifi is only 30mw, so we used usb-wifi (at least at last 
#battlemesh) for more wifi (TP-Link N150 TL-WN722N)

please keep in mind, that in case of flashing that device with broken 
firmware there is NO reset button working. you will a need serial 
interface for recovery. maybe there is no need for a soldering iron.
