Step one would be to create an interactive script that asks some basic questions like your ampr address allocation and sets up the routes and rules. I have been meaning to do this. Sadly winter is pretty much over. I documented the way I did it in pretty good detail: http://www.qsl.net/kb9mwr/wapr/tcpip/ampr-ripd.html Of course there is more than one way to skin a cat. You don't have to add a USB Nic, you could use a VLAN capable switch for example. That is always the rub, one size may not fit all. I skipped explaining a basic firewall, as I think its a bitch much for most people already, and is documented elsewhere. The best info I had at the time was LX1DUC's info, but I wanted to take explaining certain things a bit more that I initially thought weren't the most clear. http://marc.storck.lu/blog/2013/08/howto-setup-an-amprnet-gateway-on-linux/ http://marc.storck.lu/blog/2013/08/basic-paranoid-iptables-firewall-for-an-… I have found everyone in any aspect of the hobby has a different level of understanding. Writing a disk image to a SD card might be a first timer for someone for example. Then you need to explain that. A good start would be for more people to share details on their gateway setup.
