anybody knows of a mifi i can run linux on ?

[Jason Friedman]

Hi Erez,

Your original email was pretty vague:

> I am looking for a Mifi (i.e. cellular wifi) router which i can run linux
on.

So I'm not sure why you are surprised with the responses. I interpreted
that as you wanting something relatively small that runs linux and can
connect to cellular networks. You might want to be a little more specific
with what you want if you want more specific responses.

Here is another suggestion (again, it depends on why you want to run linux
on it). Get a cheap android phone. It runs linux (sort of) and can act as a
router.

Hope that helps :)

Jason
