I'd give IPCop a shot on one of those old machines. It's 'blue'
interface is designed for wireless. I think you'll find IPCop full
featured, and much easier to maintain/configure than your gentoo
routers. FWIW, if you really miss building everything from scratch, you
can compile IPCop yourself from sources as well. It's based on LFS. ;)
