As you are aware what you are trying to do it outside the scope of support for the Shield Pro as it comes from Itus but I wanted to provide as much info as possible to help you in your endeavors.

I would like to do this but I can't do it alone.
My thoughts are:
1) Install OpenWRT in virtual box (

2) Rebuild the environment based on notes above
3) Start adding other packges (speedtest cli ...
4) Update the 151SP1 restore image with latest corrections/tools
Who has done something similar before?
No more: Shield Pro v1, Chaos Calmer, FW 1.51 SP1
