A relatively unknown one-man (apparently) software company. Checking google suggests that the article has been a place for people who don't like the owner to attack him, and/or for him to defend himself, resulting in edit wars and suppressed revisions in the past. Article has been tagged as original research for nearly 3 years, and for quality problems for 2 years.

A survey of recent news stories (none) and archived news stories (some, but few of note) suggests that improving the article will continue to be impossible. Available evidence suggests this is a one man operation about which there is little to no 3rd party reliable information of any kind. Jimbo Wales (talk) 13:32, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is a software company that develops modified distributions of Wi-Fi router firmware for supported Linux-based routers. In its current state, the article suggests that actually using the software might be illegal in the US or Europe. It claims to be able to increase radio wattage almost tenfold in software -- advertised as being able to increase the router's radio transmission power from 28 milliwatts to 251 milliwatts -- which strikes me as unlikely. At any rate, there's no indication that this business or its products has any historical, technical, or cultural significance. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:16, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Seems to be a one man band type of thing here. (apologize for original comment) Undead Warrior (talk) 05:17, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
