      What you're asking for isn't possible.  Your price point is far to low to support same.

      Look at the Minnowboard Max (http://www.minnowboard.org/meet-minnowboard-max/):  2 core Baytrail Atom @ 1.33GHz, 2 GB RAM, 1 RealTek Ethernet, no storage, no case, no PS:

      $145.95: http://www.alliedelec.com/minnowboard-999-0004910/70413112/
      $145.95: http://avnetexpress.avnet.com/store/em/EMController/Development-Kits/Circuitco-Electronics-LLC/999-0004910/_/R-5004466352587/A-5004466352587/An-0?action=part&catalogId=500201&langId=-1&storeId=500201&listIndex=-1&page=1&rank=1
      $145.95: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/CircuitCo/MINNOWBOARD-MAX-DUAL/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMs9lZI8ah3py%2f9KKP2eiFfZsbAbf7dOFFRyaqaqEqmd8g%3d%3d
      $145.95: http://store.netgate.com/MinnowBoardMax.aspx
      $139.00: http://parts.arrow.com/item/detail/circuitco/minnowboardmax-dual#MJMy
      $139.00: http://www.technodisti.com/online-store/boards/minnowboard-max-dual-core-detail.html

      One of those links should look … very familiar to you.

      Now, RCC-DFFv2 is 2 Intel Ethernet, 2 Core C2338 @1.7GHz, 2GB RAM, 4 GB eMMC, 1 x miniPCIe (with miniSIM), 1 x M.2 ('M' keyed):

      So for $52 - $59, the adds are: faster CPU, 2 (better) Ethernets, 4GB eMMC, and miniPCIe and M.2.

      The $99 ERL is never going to keep-up with it.  I'm still committed to producing a experimental version of pfSense for the ERL, but it's that, experimental, and right now it's waiting on a fix to the toolchain.

        @stan-qaz
        I really know what you mean, but comparing a OpenSource Project to NASDAQ notated company
        with an income of $500 million to $1 billion (USD) per year, is not really a fair trail as I see it right!

        They can promote and substitute devices like they want, but on the other side pfSense is
        trying to get some money over the support to keep the project alive or let this project
        growing, and this are two fundamental other playgrounds in my eyes.

        Yeah, but what you don't know is that Jamie and I nearly bought Ubiquiti back in the day.

        Naaah I don´t believe you on that point, stop kidding please.
        And for sure with Intel QuickAssist and AES-NI support came
        new things to pfSnese that could be also very interesting,…...

        ...but if UBNT at one day perhaps is willing to changes the hardware inside of the
        whole EdgeRouter series it could be a good point for you and Netgate to get the
        hands on the hardware production of the entire Edge family as they exist now,
        ok not really total, but if they don´t need it any more this could be a support
        to the OpenSource Project pfSense, is this right? For sure without the UBNT
        Logo and the name of the EdgeRouter series and perhaps with $5 for each
        sold router to UBNT as something like a license fee or what ever this could
        be called.

        It's true.  Robert Pera was, at one point, ready to throw in the towel.  His business partners had quit to get "real jobs", and he was up to his ass in debt.  Jamie and I (as Netgate) were working with him on the AP-1 (http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16837399) which was a total failure. Then Robert moved back in with his mother, focused on the Cardbus cards, saved the company, and now he owns an NBA team.

        If I wanted to engineer at MIPS-based 3 Ethernet router, I would.  It's not like I don't have any experience with similar: http://archive.linuxgizmos.com/a-sneak-preview-of-musenkis-new-wireless-access-point-a/

        It's not interesting right now.

          the pfSense 2.2.2 has support for the edge router? it would be interesting, as the freebsd 10 mips already runs .. anyone know if we can test ..

            That there is a fork from FreeBSD 10.x for mips means not that  there is also a pfSense fork.

              Hi :)
              Can you link to both fork ?
              Thanks :P

                For the fork of the mips based FreeBSD you might be asking @thiagomespb, he was telling about that
                FreeBSD 10 is running on mips based UBNT EdgeRouter and not me, and for the pfSense there is not
                a fork up now, as I am right informed!
