Interesting. I am guessing work on making openwrt or dd-wrt is still ongoing. I see openwrt needs to physically hack the system to work (though that is an old wiki article)

Current builds of OpenWrt (from SVN trunk or the git repo) generate images that can be flashed over the web interface on the WRT160NL. Serial seems to be necessary mainly for recovery at the moment, but I guess we'll find a way around that eventually.

I bought WRT160NL because the OpenWRT folks recommended it. So far I'm still running the
Linksys firmware that came with it. Seems to work fine.

It looks like the 160NL isn't in the supported hardware list on the OpenWRT site, though... Just the 160N. That seems to clash with what people here are saying?
Anyway, I have an aging WRT54GL I'd like to replace by something that also runs Linux, but I hadn't previously found anything else like it, so I'm happy enough to hear about the 160NL and will probably get it soon (I also run tomato at home).
At work, we just replaced our WRT54GL by something a little bit more enterprisey (a DrayTek with dual WAN configuration), but had to install dnsmasq separately on one of our servers (it was previously running as a part of tomato).
I really like the slickness and full-featuredness of tomato, I hope the author will update it sometime soon.

The WRT160NL is not on the official supported hardware list yet, because it's not supported in the last official release (8.09.2) yet. It is supported in our development tree and will be supported in the upcoming release (scheduled for February).

Do you support ad-hoc mode on the 160NL? And what about multiple VAPs (master and ad-hoc at the same time)?
Any other hardware you can recommend for doing ad-hoc and master at the same time on a single radio? I've had little success with AR7.
