I may not have been clear. I pointed to that list as a reference for my
assertion that Atheros chips are reasonably common, not as a 
recommendation for openwrt.

The freebsd-wifi-build scripts are useful, and the TP-Link WDR3600 is 
know to work with FreeBSD.
I’ve got one running FreeBSD myself, and I believe other people have 
had similar success with other TP-Link boards.
