Interesting concept to outsource software development to OSS developers and stick to hardware development. Wonder why Cisco didn't take that angle with WRT54GL derivatives. I had one and it was quite nice.
Only thing I can think of is that the hardware was plenty capable but the software is where feature differentiation is and they didn't want to end up being commoditized.

It appears that approach has been successful.
