I'm curious about those pocket routers... depending on hardware, you
could run FreeBSD inside them too!

On WiFi, before having 802.11ac, it could be nice to have 802.11n
working everywhere it could hardwarely work...

I wonder if those stalling issues could be fixed, instead of crazy
workarounds. Though, I would suggest adding monitoring on USB WiFi
anyway, just in case... Like I have in my BBB.
