Do you really need the missing serial console for remote out-of-band managemnt, like most of their devices?
Well, I had one and then returned it for that reason. I've been considering it again, but not without the serial connection... so a little digging around and I found some PCB images and quick info on the OpenWRT site.
Then decided to add those bits to a fork for personal tracking... for those interested in the PCB photos and quick-doc:

Clearly still a WIP, and would need to re-purchase the device to test it out... so perhaps in the next few months that will happen.
