Actually, I can't say :-)  I don't use openWRT because I've been happily
using Sveasoft for 3 years, and can't get up the enthusiasm to switch. 
However, what I was talking about was Linux routers - not OpenWRT.  If it's
a linux box, you have the ability to administer it like any other PC on
your LAN.  

The specific advantage, here, of using OpenWRT would be that the linux
config would be identical on different hardware.
