In the the irregular series of ASUS RT-N66U and TomatoUSB posts:
Execute this script from the Tomato USB interface, or a ssh/telnet shell:
cat /dev/mtd0ro | grep bl_version
nvram get os_version
nvram get clkfreq

wl -i eth2 phy_tempsense | awk '{print $1/2+20;}'
Based on those, I found a few very useful scripts:

This links describes where those settings are: Fonera Simpl Wireless Settings : Fon Support.

RouterOS runs on many kinds of hardware. Of course on the MikroTik hardware itself (which always comes with a license), but also on x86 hardware, even virtualized systems.
In that respect, it looks a bit like pfSense, or Endian, but on steroids and closed source.
Here are some links focused on MikroTik on ESXi (which is great for experimental purposes):
