I can't talk from personal experience with that particular router, but according to: http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Linksys/WRT54GL it seems like unless you limit yourself to to a 2.4 kernel, you won't have to worry about firewalling the wireless subnet (since you won't have one!) Having said that, I run openwrt on a couple of asus routers: one wl-hdd and one asus wl-500g and they have the same issue with regards to their wifi under a 2.6 kernel. I've been running "white russian" (linux 2.4.30) on both of them for ages and they're perfectly stable (current uptime measured in months). As it's a straight linux, you get a full iptables to play with. When it's time to upgrade to 2.6, one option for me (and possibly for you) is to plug a usb wireless stick into the usb socket (which both of these devices possess). Again, just my 0.02cents.
