This looks cool.  $140 seems almost there.  PCCard would be nicer for 
WiFi type stuff, but oh well.  Are there projects in the works for 
building a nice AP/Bridge/etc distro for this board?

Only problem I see, a case would be + $.  A power supply would be + $.  
A CF card would be + $.

The case many people would replace probably anyway with something of 
their choosing like an weather proof box.  The CF card would be another 
$20, I'd imagine. 

Makes that hacked SOHO AP at $30 look really good.
