Seconded, and for more than just GPL reasons.

I found it was doing NATting on the wireless stuff in such a way that it 
royally messed with DHCP - couldn't turn it off.

I also found it was doing SMB probes around the network, connecting to 
my shares.  In the end (before I replaced it) I had to deny it access in 
smb.conf.

If you're looking for a dropin replacement, I recommend HyperWRT[1].  
I'm running this at the moment, and it's as easy to install as any.  I 
missed the last clug re openwrt, but I'm aiming to move to that when I 
have a quiet moment.
