The problem indeed *has* been drivers for the wireless radios (Broadcom primarily, since they are the provider of choice). The only solid drivers (non-bleeding-edge/development) for the Broadcom 47xx series (which includes most Netgear and Linksys N and G wireless routers) are the dreaded *monolithic binaries* (which will only work with a 2.4-series kernel, hence the brcm-2.4 series of DD-WRT and OpenWRT releases). There are *bleeding edge* (prerelease/snapshot) builds of OpenWRT (specifically 8.09.1 Kamikaze based on Linux 2.6.25 kernel) which can indeed be gotten to work (I use this version with my WRT54GS). The issue even here is that, except for the older Linksys G routers, there is only a generic .trx file available for upgrading.
