Anyone heard about this free software for routers?

Tomato is a small, lean and simple replacement firmware for Linksys'
WRT54G/GL/GS, Buffalo WHR-G54S/WHR-HP-G54 and other Broadcom-based routers.
It features a new easy to use GUI, a new bandwidth usage monitor, more
advanced QOS and access restrictions, enables new wireless features such as
WDS and wireless client modes, raises the limits on maximum connections for
P2P, allows you to run your custom scripts or telnet/ssh in and do all sorts
of things like re-program the SES/AOSS button, adds wireless site survey to
see your wifi neighbors, and more.

The QoS stuff looks really slick. Since this is a common concern
at nodes, and the tomato stuff is presumably open-source, maybe
it's something that could be reused/learned-from. As a replacement
for OpenWRT all-together though, it's a hard sell since most people
would prefer a simple-and-functional distribution to one with shiny
doo-dads.
