That sounds really nice!  Is there some guide on how to prepare an image?  I'm quite familiar with OpenWrt (patching and building) and have a number of routers (WRT-160N, WR941NL, 500gP) with serial adapters attached, but from the messages on the mips list, it felt the bootstrapping process might be a bit dauting...
