Have you found an OpenWRT firmware equivalent for these devices? A lack of an open-source firmware for such a switch has been one of my hangups. I'm leery of the firmware that would come with such a device, especially given the history of the firmware of home routers being implemented poorly (bufferbloat, obsolete versions of software with known vulnerabilities, a lack of upgrades available from the vendor because they've EOL-ed support on the device to make room for the new shiny version -- which is also shipping with vulnerabilities).

I think what would be ideal is something in the vein of the Linksys SFE2000, with an open-source firmware akin to OpenWRT. AFAIK, that, or something approaching that isn't available. However, I would love to be wrong in that regard.
