Those $50 devices are generally MIPS, with 32mb of ram and a single
100mb port, if your lucky the switch chip might do vlans.
A quick look over the OpenWRT wiki shows this as only arm based option
with 4 ports.

Interesting. An ARMv5, though, so would need a Fedora remix for it and
how current a ver at that?
It's very thin indeed on specs, only 32MB of ram etc
There are much more powerful MIPS systems such as the new C7 Archer
based systems like this: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr7500
But no Fedora on MIPS.
I know I can go with OpenWRT. I would really not want to. But if
things don't start coming up my way, I may well have to.
As a router OS OpenWRT is pretty good, much less fuss than a full distro
of Linux and very light indeed.
