Now as I have a Fonera 2.0n I was wondering if anyone has tried Gargoyle on Fonera 2.0n?
I guess some modifications to Gargoyle are required before Fonera 2.0n could be officially supported, am I correct to assume this?
Thanks.

Great progress has been done on Gargoyle since I last visited, it even reached a stable release

Re: Support for Fonera 2.0n
You are correct. The main reason I am reluctant to spend the time necessary to support the Fonera 2.0N right now is that it uses a proprietary wireless driver.
The thing I liked about Fons to begin with is that they used an Atheros chip for which there is a free, open-source driver (madwifi). That's the only reason I added support for them. Now that Fon has decided to use proprietary crap, I'm inclined to just not bother with their devices anymore.
Since adding support for another wireless driver is a lot of work, it seems far more useful to work on supporting ath9k wireless N devices (which do have an open-source driver).

Re: Support for Fonera 2.0n
I was not aware that the Fonera 2.0n only has binary drivers available, this is disappointing to find out. Are there no alternative open source drivers available for it?
If not I completely understand your choice of working for ath9k support. To bad there are no devices that has it all, N wireless, USB, full support for OpenWRT/Gargoyle and the ability to still be a part of Fon sharing Internet with other like-minded people.
