      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.

        Does it have an x86 CPU?

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

              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.
