My preference is OpenWRT, which I always build from source. For DD-WRT I just did a quick test with a prebuild image.
BTW: It seems that the WNDR3400v2 is using similar chipsets and Netgear provides GPL code at http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2649 May be we can got some ideas from there, or at least a working binary driver. Although with that we would be stuck at a certain kernel version.
