For WiFi functionality, I have installed the generic x86 openWRT (backfire) on an ALIX box with an Atheros card. I am using it as an AP but I believe it can be configured as a repeater or bridge. The kernel 2.6.32 supports ath9k driver. For 12 beta, I noticed they are putting out images for ALIX and Soekris 5501. The Web UI (backfire) works fine with the default skin; in my experience other skins, although they look prettier, break some of the UI functionality. YMMV.
