If Avila boards are a bit to pricey, you may consider getting an Ubiquity Routerstation (Pro) instead.
It ships with OpenWrt.
Anyhow, just check which devices have OpenWRT mainline support (http://www.openwrt.org) and choose one of them.
If you prefer x86 hardware and more standard distributions you may consider an Alix board
(http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm). I've got one here running Debian Lenny on a 8 GByte CompactFlash card.
Both Routerstation and Alix require additional miniPCI (or USB) WLAN cards.
Regards,
Joerg.
