I did this exact method (used OpenWRT). The biggest challenge was being sure to identify exactly which interface was which.
The various different Linksys routers have different interfaces and I foolishly assumed mine was the default model. Once I sorted that out it was pretty easy if you aren't afraid of the command line.
On the other hand, don't most wireless firewall/routers have this as a feature that you can activate with a few mouse clicks? If so it's probably way easier than the OpenWRT method.

Does anyone have some pointers (personal experiences, URLs, etc) on how to set up a point to point (house to house) wireless network? I and two geeky neighbours are thinking about setting up a private internal network to connect our houses, and we're not sure where to start.
The http://openwrt.org/ site is worth a look.
