Really, if you're considering doing it, you should already know the pros 
and cons.

Quite frankly, the fact that it's an embedded device is almost completely 
irrelevant.

Issues that _matter_ are bigger picture ones. How often are updates going 
to be performed? Will they be done regularly? Do your really want an IPS in 
the first place?

The other bigger picture issues are licensing based, but the linux kernel 
is already GPL, so the addition of snort-inline doesn't change that.
