I don't really get the relevance to OpenSSL - Dual EC DRBG was
vulnerable regardless of the entropy source. And, as already
mentioned, not actually vulnerable in OpenSSL anyway.

I am curious if there's any evidence that avalanche diodes and Zigbee
receivers are immune to outside influence (one would've thought not in
the case of the receiver, at least, which is designed to be influenced
by the outside)?
