I presume you had to flash the firmware with OpenWRT (or was it 
Tomato?). If so, what does that do to the warranty? My friend is 
concerned about voiding the warranty. Is it easy to revert to the 
factory firmware? He also doesn't seem to care about wireless at all 
since he already has an Apple base station.

When I searched for Atheros MIPS24k routers, the first hit I got was 
<http://www.roc-noc.com/product.php?productid=175>. That seemed pretty 
interesting.
