Try a real embedded platform
The WRT is a nice little Linux engine, but it's somewhat limited.

If you want a real embedded platform that can do anything, try the PC Engines WRAP. It's $160 for the box and $20 for a compact flash card. M0N0Wall or IPCop are two superb firewall distros for this box, or you can run a scaled down Linux on this.
