WAP/Router for use with OpenVPN

I have two early WRT54G systems that work really nice. One acts as both router to the Internet and AP for access to my internal network, the other one for when visitors show up and/or have a 802.11b device. I'm now looking to install OpenVPN with bridging so my wife can fire up a client on

Sorry for top posting, I'm only on my blackberry and it sucks for writing e-mail, but I had to chime in. ext3 has two cases where it will fsck at boot time - number of times it's been mounted since the last fsck and/or a time interval. Both of these are low by default, but you can change both
