Newer hardware revisions can be reprogrammed, but it's Windows-only and price of OXFW911-based enclosure was lower than that of Windows install media or a new box that would have it preinstalled.

Not really... Blacklisting that FPOS and recommending to replace it with real bridge is saner solution, IMO.
