Open Source Router from Netgear
This via Lifehacker:
The Netgear Open Source Router is aimed specifically at running third-party, open-source firmwares like previously mentioned Tomato or DD-WRT. We’ve covered installing these firmwares on supported routers here and here, but Netgear’s Open Source Router is unique in that it’s designed specifically to support these open-source projects; Netgear has even created a community web site where enthusiasts can contribute guides and more. The Netgear Open Source Router costs $57 from Amazon.

Reportedly this “Open Source” router contains binary-only kernel drivers. Another perversion of the “Open Source” brand? So we’re still better off getting one of the really Free-Software-friendly Linksys NSLUs than this “look at us, we’re friendly” Netgear, according to comments like http://suihkulokki.blogspot.com/2008/06/creating-community-friendly-embedded.html

MJ, thanks for the update! I’ll be honest I stink when it comes at hardware, I just figured it was something I shouldn’t ignore.

I’m no hardware wizard, but I’ve been burnt by these “Linux-friendly but not really” devices before, so I guess I’m very wary now.
