There is no reason this could not be easily adapted to load and configure openwrt on an ALIX board, the only platform specific portion is the initial TFTP ip address which is set in one of the configuration files (outlined in the included readme file) and possible some of the timeout values which I'd set based on how the nanostation was responding. Most of the fixed timeouts will end up waiting longer when needed however.
The beauty of this script is that it does not need to understand your configuration or what you want to do with the box it once it's configured. Just configure your first box by hand, copy the config files into the appropriate directories as outline in the readme, and you're ready to go, flash the first box then lather-rinse-repeat.
