It was known to be on back-order at the time. I had no idea the wait
would be that long, though...

A reminder, this is the router in question:

http://www.ubnt.com/edgemax#EdgeMAXhardware

At $99, it's running a customized version of Debian, plus hardware
acceleration. (I don't think it's using CAM...could be they implemented
most of the network stack in an FPGA. Dunno.) I believe it's running
either quagga or vyatta underneath for most of its work.

There's not much further to discount...but it'll beat the pants off even
DD-WRT on devices at similar price points.
