I'm very happy with my Fonera2.0: Atheros Chipset+USB2.0 It runs quite well with OpenWRT although there are occasional issues because it still relies on the madwifi driver. They even have a model with 801.22N WiFi but I don't have any experience with that particular model.

Their official Firmware is OpenWRT based and they employ some of the OpenWRT hackers, so it can be expected that the hardware will be well supported, even in the future.

I don't think the N model is supported by any free software.

The non-N Fonera models (original, + and 2) use the Madwifi drivers, which include a binary blob.
