Also epel-release provides packages only for server architectures: 
x86_64, ppc64, and aarch64, so if the 'network device' is built on 
anything else, the whole thing is a non-starter.

I generally agree that attempting to ride on the coattails of 
desktop/server Linux vendors is asking for frustration. People are still 
trying though:

Much better to just write the recipes from the start, and share them 
with the community :)
