Hi Eric,
I've done a lot of work making openwrt based hotspot networks in the
past. ddwrt is useful, but there's a couple of issues that come to mind.
Firstly with ddwrt using openvpn you'd have to make changes to
mirrorshades to support openvpn and do you really need the overhead of
encryption?
Secondly with ddwrt the ability to tune to the ham band is only
possible by using a paid for version that has 'superchannel'
functionality.
It should be fairly simple to create an openwrt image that sets up an
unencrypted tunnel to mirrorshades, however I've never toyed with
setting odd frequencies on them. Also given that you wouldn't have
unused packages installed you could use the space to install something
amateur radio related.
Finally how would you stop non-ham access?
