Then there is the vocore2; cheaper and not a repurposed consumer device.

It seems like a very good alternative hardware for the same purposes as USB Armory, for a fraction of the price.

I wonder how soon a nice security-oriented package set will emerge. I suppose the USB interface should work as a USB-connected NIC, offering https / ssh / u2f access to the host on the card.

I use one of these running LEDE. For the original porting work done on OpenWRT, check this link: https://wiki.hackerspace.pl/projects:zsun-wifi-card-reader For more recent work done to get up-to-date LEDE builds running on the device, check https://forum.lede-project.org/t/supporting-zsun-wifi-card-r...

I heard LEDE and Openwrt just re-merged the other day.

That's true, but the port work described in this post is older (predating the fork of LEDE and OpenWRT), and the latest work regarding these zsun devices are more recent (but they haven't been upstreamed into LEDE, and so haven't been merged back into OpenWRT, either).

So the state of the art for these devices is a couple of months old LEDE builds.
