Thanks for the info. Yes usb to ethernet adaptor are cheaper, and I do have some at
home..
Also been playing with vlan on a programmable 24 port switch that I use on a repeater site
to provide internet by wifi to a few user on site. (all ham radio stuff)
I have access to a 4 port gigabyte pcie card that work on openwrt. I want to use 1 port
for the ampnet Gateway and the 3 other and the one of the 2 onboard nic for a few vlan.
The problem is that I have absolutely no idea how I could add the ampnet Gateway sftware
in the machine.
Like I said memory and hard drive space is not a problem since I run it on a pc that have
2 gig or ram and 32 gig of hard disk for the OS ( and 1 tb for a small file server on my
lan)
Was looking at the software database for openwrt, and amprnet dont seem to be available as
a package.. Looks like I will have to compile it

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a 3rd
nic (pcie) that could be use as the apmrnet gateway to hamprnet for my allocation.
USB NIC may be cheaper and more versatile than PCIe when performance is
not an issue. AFAIK there's no up-to-date list of supported USB NICs for
OpenWRT. But Realtek RTL8153 chipset is known to work well ($10-$15 on
Amazon)
Another approach is to use VLANs. This requires a VLAN-capable switch.
You can split a "physical" Ethernet interface in several "virtual"
networks, each of them appearing as a separate network card with its own
IP on your OpenWRT router. On your switch, you can tag (=affect) any
Ethernet port to any of your virtual networks. It requires some time and
practice to understand how it works, but it's a very versatile solution
for managing and isolating several networks. F/ex ,at home, I have 4
VLANs : professional, family, home automation/IOT, HAM
