A quick look over the OpenWRT wiki shows this as only arm based option
with 4 ports.

Interesting. An ARMv5, though, so would need a Fedora remix for it and
how current a ver at that?
There are much more powerful MIPS systems such as the new C7 Archer
based systems like this:

But no Fedora on MIPS.
I know I can go with OpenWRT. I would really not want to. But if
