One of the ideas I have been toying with is building an open source
wireless/ADSL gateway from the ground up, along the same lines as the
free telephony project (site here: http://www.rowetel.com/ucasterisk/ a
video of David Rowe's talk at linux.conf.au here:
http://linux.conf.au/programme/wednesday )

My dream router would leverage openwrt, do ADSL, 802.11s, ipv6, dnsmasq
and squid, which means it would have large amounts of flash and ram, but
be low power and infinitely upgradable. Complying with the ADSL
standards looks easier than DOCSIS... barely. It doesn't sound like any
of the routers you've suggested so far do ADSL2+, though...

The BOM on (for example) the latest atheros chipsets is something like
$12.50 US. The marvel wireless chip as used in the olpc is another option.
