The Itus Shield has been officially added to the OpenWrt list of supported devices.

OpenWrt's device support is LIMITED to the Router slot only, and will lack some of the more device-specific tweaks.  This was a trade-off I had to make in order to get it included.  However, this would only apply to their buildbot builds where you pull down the device pre-built image from them.  Anyone who wants to compile from source will be able to make whatever augmentations they want.

To that end, I will ALSO be maintaining a separate repo for the Shield. This repo will return the Bridge and Gateway slot functionality to the source, as well as putting whatever tweaks I make to the configuration available by including the .config file.  One could run a straight vanilla OpenWrt official version on the Router slots, and my images on the other two without interference.

In the end, this ultimately means those of use who paid real money for good hardware will be able to continue to use it and get support (official device means a MUCH better chance of getting a beneficial answer from the forums!).

It took far, far to long, but I had a smashing good time :)
