OpenWRT

OpenWRT is a Linux-based firmware program for Embedded Hardware devices such as residential WiFi gateways. Support was originally limited to the LinkSys WRT54G series, but has since been expanded to include other chipsets, manufacturers and device types, including Net Gear, D Link, Asus routers and many others, including the Openmoko mobile phones. The most popular routers seem to be the Linksys WRT54G series and the Asus WL-500g. OpenWRT primarily uses a command-line interface, but also features an optional web-based GUI interface. Technical support is provided through the forums and IRC channel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWRT

Supports Mesh Network-ing.

Among other notable features is the user interface, which makes heavy use of AJAX as well as an SVG-based graphical bandwidth monitor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato_(firmware)
