Router Skype

The Linksys WRT54G is the 'hobbyist' WiFi Router and for a long time now you have been able to replace the firmware with your own version of Linux, which is what it runs anyway.
This has spawned a project called OpenWRT, which is now able to run on several WiFi routers.
I have been thinking for a while that it would be better if my Skype installation ran on my router. It is usually on 24 hours a day and sits next to my phone line.
The Linksys WRT54G has a USB port, so what would be the possibility to connect the IPEVO USB Skype phone to it and make and receive Skype calls??

UPDATE: The WRT54G does NOT have a USB port (doh!), the WRTSL54GS does, however it is not supported on OpenWRT yet. Asus make a Wifi router called the WL-500g Deluxe which has 2 USB ports and is supported by OpenWRT. As in all things, there's no such thing as a new idea! Hat tip JDepew at Linksysinfo.org

Ok, so there's going to be some changes that would have to be made to the OpenWRT USB device drivers (probably), but it's Linux, and Skype runs on Linux.
UPDATE: I found this link for installing Asterisk on OpenWRT, which is equally interesting, but nothing for Skype!

You have to think that Linksys could do this in a minute, if they wanted to...

Now, I could probably get a patent on this if I don't publish it first...oops, hit the wrong button! There goes another million bucks!
