mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

don't worry , I don't expect nothing from Netgear, i'm not here for a long time but it's quite fast to understand :?
My concern is that in fact no one has cross the river and try to develop it's own software/distribution for entertainment purpose, on a deprecated device for exemple.
For me, It changes from android world where almost everyone (i exagerate of course) seems to be able to develop it's own system and seems to have good linux/java (for frontview fork)/hardware/driver skill, despite the fact that hardware is even more complicated in mobile world. There's much more emulation in fact
Here in netgear world, only a little number of people seems to have the skill to purpose interesting things, it's a statistical problem because we're finally little number of users and even more little number to be interested in tweaking
Here is my concern and i'm a little pessimistic when i hope to get an easy-to-setup solution with a 10 lines how-to.
Let's pray for a messi :D
