Since C3 is going to be frequented by security-conscious people and
general interest in tampering with hardware will be high, try this:
* SSH into BIOS for the paranoid
* Authenticated booting
* Using any TPM against the intention of the vendor
Other points:
* Very fast boot process -> for routers it means availability one
second after switchon
> * Mention OLPC. (But what are the important points?)
* BIOS can already use wireless
* Automatic authenticated BIOS updates
* BIOS can be tailored to individual needs (wireless/wired network
card support, ipv4/ipv6, flat panel/vga...)
* BIOS bugs can be fixed even if upstream is not ready/cooperating
(not that I would want to suggest that upstream was uncooperative)

Carl-Daniel
