The wifi on the RaspberryPi is full of Broadcomm proprietary-ness.
And the lack of case/psu is going to drive up the price.

If you really want hardware access you could look at some of
the open source hardware boards: Beagleboard, Arduino, Allwinnner A10
and the like.
(although I don't know whether the Open Hardware-ness of the
Allwinner A10 has been realized.)

I'd be nice if openwrt ran on these, but I haven't seen this.
