Do yourself a favor and get a Picostation 2 from Ubiquiti [1], it's a hacker's dream. They're $59 over at netgate [2].
* The Picostation 2 has 8MB of flash and 32MB of RAM, which is enough to install and run quite a few interesting things beyond just the kernel: asterisk, openvpn, python, perl etc. For comparison, my WRT54GL only has 2MB of flash and the kernel is 1.7MB -- I run djbdns and tcpdump on it and that's about all I've got room for.
* The Picostation 2 ships with an open firmware, AirOS Linux. OpenWRT also has prebuilt images for the Picostation 2 [3]. There's something like 1000 OpenWRT packages available for quick binary install via opkg, see the list here [4].
* Weatherproof enclosure and Power over Ethernet. Comes with a PoE injector.
* Standard replaceable RP-SMA external antenna.
