Ideas for hacking a wireless router

So, many moons ago I bought this wireless router, which one bad day was 
hit by lightning, and had the WAN port and one LAN port fried. (The ADSL 
modem was completely fried, as was one Ethernet port of the motherboard.)

It's a KCorp KLS-575, and whilst this is not a particularly well-known 
router, it has one striking advantage: it runs Linux and you can 
download the source code (at least, the GPL-ed bits) from the 
manufacturer. Glancing at the Makefile for the kernel, the CPU appears 
to be some sort of ARM (without MMU).

Other than building an wireless internet radio, does anybody have any 
cool ideas of what you could do with this thing?
