And now just after 6 AM.  I'm *finally* starting to get too tired to do 
much more; I hit the wall (metaphorically) about 90 minutes ago and 
decided trying to learn how to configure freeradius was futile in my 
current condition, as was trying to work out configuring a virtual 
network interface for the open wifi I want to set up that's restricted to 
minimal ports and a fraction of the total bandwidth available.

Those projects will wait for another day.

I got QoS running, and the router is acting as a USB print server as 
well.  And it's doing the port forwarding I need, and I even got it to 
mount a USB flash drive, so I should be able to install a fair bit more 
software after I spend some time configuring it to relocate its 
filesystem to the flash drive.  Basically start it off on its own flash, 
and then swap the root partition out after it boots.

I'm pleased, certainly.  Hopefully this will mean I don't have to 
micromanage bandwidth utilisation during the workday, and my work phone 
will be able to get the bandwidth it needs for a clear signal, regardless 
of whether someone's streaming a film from Netflix or not (that'd be a 
good test).
