I've purchased one, but I don't have the openwrt experiance to bootstrap this. I 
have built my own openwrt images for the 3700v2 and 3800 and have been using 
Linux since the 0.99 kernel days, so I am very comfortable mucking with kernel 
compile options.

If someone is willing to coach me through the process, I'd be happy to do the 
experimentation.
