>From my recent newbie experience with open-wrt:

1.  Building open-wrt is a breeze if you've ever compiled a program from source 
before.  Type 'make menuconfig', select your device, and if in doubt use 
defaults for everything else.  Type 'make'.  Go out for the evening.

2.  Trickiest bit of the process for me was getting the build onto the device.  
Choose one with a sane install process.  (Not TI AR7 based!)

3.  Both x-wrt and luci are perfectly good web-interfaces, x-wrt is slightly 
cleaner and faster than luci; luci possibly has more features.  Both are at 
least a bazillion timers better than vendor interfaces.  [Hint to device 
manufacturers - fire your developers and use openwrt.  It's better and cheaper].

Cheers,
Ralph.
