Netgear UTM5 - anyone install pfSense?
-
Hi everyone, has anyone installed pfSense on one of these devices? It has a Gig WAN and 4 Gig LAN ports. It's definitely running an imbedded Linux which you can see from the boot messages. I haven't opened the box but a review on SmallNetBuilder shows a small PC-like motherboard with 512 meg of ram. The menu system is really a mess - I've been spoiled by pfSense! I'd sure like to put pfSense on this thing.

Looks like it has this thing: Cavium CN5010 whatever that is. Could be RISC, which would be bad.

Here is a similar discovery about the netgear appliance.

Seems to be a MIPS-processor. Bad luck there.
I was the one who tried to get Pfsense onto a Netgear Prosecure STM150 with bad results. I have not given up yet, but Netgear clearly dont have that flexible hardware as other manufacturers.
