Totally agree.   Very flexible and powerful for routing, WiFi tasks.

What is the WiFi chipset in your case - Atheros?

For WiFi functionality, I have installed the generic x86 openWRT
(backfire) on an ALIX box with an Atheros card.  I am using it as an
AP but I believe it can be configured as a repeater or bridge.  The
kernel 2.6.32 supports ath9k driver.    For 12 beta, I noticed they
are putting out images for ALIX and Soekris 5501.

The Web UI  (backfire) works fine with the default skin; in my
experience other skins, although they look prettier,  break some of
the UI functionality.

YMMV.
