i did find a link to what i vaguely recalled:

netgear WGR614L -- and note how netgear seems pretty serious about
linux support (although i'm not sure what to make of the claim that
openwrt support is "coming soon" -- anyone here played with one yet?)

sadly, i see no USB ports which, these days, you'd think would be an
absolute no-brainer.
