Linksys released this today.
Newly released home wireless router, has Linux OS in it too.
Possibly a successor to WRT54GL?

$120 suggested list but already less than $100 on NewEgg.com and Buy.com
$82 on Amazon.

I saw it earlier today. Stylish. Linux. Cool.

I wonder if I would be able to load a Linux network (bandwidth) monitoring app on it?

Well...gee...from the article:

Main point? That it's Linux-based, so people can shove apps on there like BitTorrent downloaders and whatever else you can find that runs on Linux.

It does use an Atheros chipset.

Just saw a $78.99 price on newegg.com for it, price good until June 30.
