Yes I have researched this...

It has current 8MB of primary flash, 2MB of secondary flash,  and an
expansion slot for larger flash chip.  As well I believe there is a
slot for larger memory chip.  Current the system has 16MB of ram.  It
appears to be running the motorola cpu which I believe is running at
about 200mhz.

Yes neither do I...

I looked at the open-wrt wiki and noticed that no cisco devices are
listed on the supported hardware list at all...

Does this mean it wont be supoprt or just that no one using wrt has done so yet?

Thanks!
