I've not played with OpenAP on that particular Eumitcom board, but
I have dorked with the pieces on other platforms. I am keeping
my eyes open for a Eumitcom-based AP, though :-) The only reservations
I have about this platform are the same ones I have about the
"linux on the RG-1000/Airport" idea:

http://www-hft.ee.tu-berlin.de/~strauman/airport/airport.html

In both cases, IMHO, the platform - while small and cheap(ish),
is underpowered, has little storage, and is effectively
obsolete. That's not to say that the effort isn't fun, educational,
rewarding and potentially useful.

If we get critical mass of twin-cities geeks working with these
systems perhaps we can find a way to share/rotate a memory card
that is needed only for the initial linux-ization of the board.
How many others are working with OpenAP locally, or planning to ?
