The 3700 is back-ordered by weeks, and the 3800 doesn't have a modem, and the 3500 isn't even in the local catalogues. Netgear doesn't seem to be well regarded over here, even by the hacker types - and you *know* we have hacker types aplenty.
I double-checked all my hardware again, and while I can technically get OpenWRT on my D-Link modem, it can't actually drive the *modem* part because Broadcom is mean and stingy.
After biting the bullet and going through the local retailers' catalogues with a fine-toothed comb, I eventually found this - a fine specimen as far as hardware specs goes:
http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/WBMR-HP-G300H-EU
It happens to be Lantiq based, and so OpenWRT shows full support for it:

Jimm's is transitioning to a purely mail order system and is based in a different city, but it turned out that my local megahypersuperretailer had just got a batch in stock, so I got one from there.
Well, this should be fun.
