OpenWRT requires work? Perhaps you're using builds without the X-Wrt 
web interface?

One nice thing about OpenWRT is how easy it is to upgrade - you just 
tar-up /etc in the unionfs and you have the files that changed.. (The 
X-Wrt interface's backup/restore doesn't get this right yet, sadly - 
it backed up the entire /etc, which causes problems when you then 
restore it and its old versions of scripts onto a newer version).
