the switch in the 3800 is pretty sophisticated, it can mirror ports as well as 
doign VLANs (although I haven't looked into how to do this through openwrt)

consider sending the data out through a dedicated port on the switch, then let 
people use a throw-away server/laptop to do the traffic capture.
