To half-answer my own question, Linksys came out with a new model in  
the past few days:
   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124296

which satisfies most of my criteria.  The DD-WRT guys have been  
working on getting dual-band and wide-channels working on a previous  
rev., so it's not quite free yet, but my guess is it will be.

USB and GigE too; neat.
