Agenda
- Pick location for next weekly
- Node notes:
NodeWeidler -- Russell now remembers what is holding up the upgrade to RB493G, and that is that modern OpenWrt is broken on it, due to the kernel size growing too large to fit into the space the routerboot bootloader allows. This has been the case since September, but Russell had forgotten about it until a few days ago when he was surprised the update in the testbed didn't work.
NodeLuckyLabSW -- The only deployed RB493G is here. This is kind of an issue since the RB493G is the only once-supported devices with 8 LAN ports that we currently know about. Argh!

Notes
Mikrotik RB493G OpenWrt support broken as kernel too large to be directly loaded in second stage
- Maybe use another bootloader as second stage to then boot the kernel
- Node notes:
NodeWeidler and NodeLuckyLab both need 6 total ethernet ports.
- Ubiquiti Edgerouter 10x has 10 ports
