hey Ben,
It doesn't look like wanrouter has been touched in upstream in a long
while, but we can't say that there are no users of it. Some
suggestions that might help:
* See if Sangoma can get their changes accepted into the upstream
kernel - this way all distributions will automatically get a
working version
* Ask Sangoma to use dpkg-diversions to replace the system-provided
module
