Pantou is the code name for the OpenFlow 1.0 software release for the OpenWrt platform. It can be used with a variety of wireless routers supported by the OpenWrt project, and allows you to get an OpenFlow-enabled device with less than $100. Look at the release notes regarding supported devices, upgrade process and other details.
This is an alpha release but should be good enough to start experimenting with. We welcome any feedback to help us towards a stable release!

Update : The tutorial was held with great success! Slides are available here. You can go through the tutorial on your own following these instructions.
The next OpenFlow tutorial will take place on August 20 in Mountain View, CA as part of HOT Interconnects Symposium.
This tutorial is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the platforms and debugging tools most useful for developing network control applications on OpenFlow. Following an introduction, each participant will create a flow-based Ethernet switch. Along the way, attendees will learn the full suite of OpenFlow debugging tools: view flow tables with dpctl, dissect packets with Wireshark, slice with FlowVisor, simulate a multi-switch, multi-host network with Mininet on their laptops, and control a network with real switches.
The only requirement is to bring a laptop; no experience is required.

You can now add San Diego to the list of OpenFlow tutorial sites, which includes Stanford, Brazil, and Seattle.
The latest one was held at the 8th GENI Engineering Conference, right by the beach. The weather was cool and cloudy, but the turnout was great: 58 registered and the room was filled with a mix of students, commercial researchers, and others looking to learn. The material alternated between lectures and hands-on exercises, where attendees turned a provided NOX hub controller into a flow-accelerated learning switch. The lecture side was given by Brandon Heller from Stanford and Srini Seetharaman from Deutsche Telekom Labs, while the hands-on side was helped by almost ten Stanford students/affiliates, ensuring that questions were answered promptly. Slides, exercises, and more are available at the links below:
The next tutorial will be in Mountain View, CA as part of HOT Interconnects on August 17 – click here for details, and make sure to register by Aug 1.
