I wonder if a manual is going to come with this thing. This seems like its going to be a small pain in the butt without a usb port. Whoever buys this will have to have at least a small knowledge of networking because either

A) It will come with a static address so you can plug in directly to it and telnet/ssh in to change the it to the appropriate address so you can use it normally

B) it will pick up a dhcp address and you will have to log into your router and figure out the address based on that.

Then there is the issue of actually configuring it to work with software remotely . . . If you misconfigure something and block yourself from the box, how do you reset it to get back in?

I have a feeling that even if you got this device tomorrow, you still won't be able to use it for a while. Maybe I'm wrong and they already have it working with a miner. While I bought into BFL I'm honestly not hating or trolling. I'd like to see this thing actually work. Perhaps this is why there isn't any video yet.

The manual is openwrt:)

If it is openwrt + cgminer or something similar it shall take no more than 2 mins to make it mine.

Oh yes - there shall be reset button in case you misconfigure something:)

How does cgminer know how to use the asic? It doesn't need any extra programming or drivers? (I'm honestly asking because I don't know. )

With any OS on a writable drive I have a chance of screwing myself. If I accidentally delete a necessary file or misconfigure something that is written I don't see a way of resetting this. Hopefully whatever it is running the OS from isn't soldered in in case you need to remove it and work on it in a different box. This is probably a minor concern though.

Its kind of annoying that at this stage of the game the info isn't out there on how this will be used and we are all guessing based on pictures.
