I'm very sorry I forgot to mention this before, but I'd also like to
have a router with very low power.  The required range will never be
more than about 10 feet.  Call me crazy but I like to keep my
radiation exposure as low as possible.  Is there any way to determine
the radiation output from these things?

That's perfect.  I'll use Backfire to start and do it right later on.
I use Gentoo so I'm capable of digging in when time permits. :)
