why one would want to upgrade it? in my case, I wish to run snmpd
to remote monitor it, having space for a few more iptables modules
would be nice (i.e. irc/pptp/h323 nat), running PPPoE/PPTP won't
hurt and, if it is not enough, to make the unit more problem free
by not running so tight :~O

(I know some ppl are using openap-ct because its firmware update
on-the-fly thing, it would be good, too, as it could permite
offload the CPU a bit by leting card do WEP (currently it is done
in kernel driver))

you problably are talking without having a bunch of units on the field.
I have 14 here, if I can extend it's life, I'll do so (as I'd buy
more units if it hasn't the limitations me/Keith exposed)
