WRT54G is a MIPS beast, not ARM. While there is an official Arduino I think the Freeduino family is more interesting (like the Sanguino, much more capacity; or the BBB, which is extremely breadboard-friendly) ... unless you have a hard time programming an AVR8 microcontroller with GCC and want some handholding via those not-really-C tools. If you can do MS-Windows, and have e.g. an AVR Dragon, Atmel's AVR studio gives you a great symbolic debugger. Note that if you're a hardware hacker, one issue with Overo (or any OMAP3 board) is likely to be its use of 1.8V I/O interfaces instead of more common 3.3V. That's good for battery operation, and if you have no fear of designing a board, then it's just something to remember.
