If Avila boards are a bit to pricey, you may consider getting an Ubiquity Routerstation (Pro) instead. It ships with OpenWrt. Anyhow, just check which devices have OpenWRT mainline support (http://www.openwrt.org) and choose one of them. If you prefer x86 hardware and more standard distributions you may consider an Alix board (http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm). I've got one here running Debian Lenny on a 8 GByte CompactFlash card. Both Routerstation and Alix require additional miniPCI (or USB) WLAN cards.
