Here's what one of the web interfaces look like with Openwrt/LuCI:

It is easy to evade the activation thing, but the mere existance puts
me off.  Also, you have to look hard to find SVN access to the ddwrt
code base.  It isn't linked from the ddwrt website that i could find
(Google will find a Trac interface).  You can get x86 support or a
bunch of others with OpenWrt without even the suggestion of a
donation, much less a license fee.  In short, OpenWrt feels a lot more
FOSSy to me than ddwrt.

BTW, there is another one called Tomato that I've heard good things
about but never used.  You might want to take a look at that also.
