seems pretty much what was done with Actiontec Dual PC Modem Router.
the problem is ... actiontec seems to be unable to deliver a simple
expansion to their routers, a daughterboard that would let anyone
recover for a bad flash/DB that have serial and USB expansion

Cisco has a story of supporting GPL and opensource, where it can.
I hope, with their Linksys acquisition, that what you "dream" can
became true ;-)
