The discussion here is enlightening:
   http://lwn.net/Articles/355628/
The quick summary is that the WNR3500L uses Broadcom closed source 
drivers, so the kernel is still stuck in the 2.4 series.  A better 
choice for an open router might be the Linksys WRT160NL, which uses 
Atheros.  Apparently openwrt has added support for the WRT160NL.

Perhaps Russell can tell us more.
