I think I remember an announcement about it a while ago, but nothing since. I'll look into it. Thanks.

Have you looked at the netgear "my open router?" I got mine at best buy not too long ago. There is a fair amount of actie development of the three major firmwares, dd-wrt, openwrt and tomato. I have mine setup as an access point to extend my wireless reach through the whole house and as a basic NAS server.

The CPU is much faster than the one in the Linksys WRT and it has a lot more memory. It has USB ports, so you can use it as a print server for a USB printer. A variant of Tomato, called TomatoUSB, has been developed for it.
