There are also the sveasoft.com firmwares as well for the wrt54g(s) and a few other linksys boxes.
The other thing you could look into is a cisco pix like a 501, though definitely more expensive and harder to configure it is smart enough to do things like rewrites to the sip headers.

Look at http://www.openwrt.org. Not only will it support the use of asterisk behind it, you can load asterisk _on_ it. It has enough horsepower to support 2 transcoded calls simultaneously when used as a PBX. I have my site running on a full server and two satellites running asterisk on the Linksys box (1 on Sympatico & 1 on Rogers) all three with an integrated dial plan. Works like a champ. dbc.
