I think the short answer is 'no'. I use OpenWrt on embedded systems
for part of our network and it's quite good in this respect, but I wasn't
willing to put in the effort to make it run on regular x86 PC hardware
(I think it does run but there were too many unknowns for my tastes).
So where we use PCs I install Fedora and build the extra modules I need
myself.

It is a bit strange that nobody seems to be able to succeed with a
router distribution -- there have been many attempts over the years
but they've all failed (wikipedia has a good page listing them all).
