I currently have a WRT54GL with Tomato on it, and I have had it for years. Since most WRT54's you buy in store now are not compatible with the customs firmware's anymore, I was happy to hear about the WRT160NL.
Too bad the LAN ports are 100Mbit instead of Gbit, but I have a switch so not too big of an issue.
I am planning to buy this model as soon as Tomato (preferably Tomato, I could settle for another firmware - maybe) flawlessly works on this.
Anybody know anything about this?

Customs firmware on WRT160NL
The openwrt community is currently working on a full build, and it should actually be done soon. As far as tomato goes however, it really depends on the individual who develops tomato if he wants to, but I would imagine he would since this device has a faster processor and 802.11N. Thankfully the atheros chipset has open source drivers and this should push the custom firmwares onto it fairly fast.
In other words, time will tell.

To my knowledge, there hasn't been any progress towards support for DD-WRT.....
I have to comment, please do not use dd-wrt unless you have to. Brainslayer basically stole the work of others, then makes people pay for premium options. I can almost guarantee when openwrt is finished with there port, dd-wrt will take it and use it for there benefit. I have a friend that helped work on the firmware (mostly ui stuff) and after brainslayer decided to make dd-wrt a company, all references to his alias disappeared from the firmware.
I have the WRT160NL and so far it's rock solid on the wireless end. I hooked a 60GB USB HD to it and mapped a drive to it from one of my pc's on the network. When I try to play a movie from that drive, it keeps losing the connection. I tried a 4GB thumb drive too. Same thing. Wonder if the only thing you can use is the Linksys audio device they talk about? As far as performance goes though, I am very pleased. The speed, response, and network latency is excellent even with only a "g" radio on my laptop. Looking forward to the firmware mods...
I need to use WRT160NL as WiFi repeater.
I didn't find custom firmware for WRT160NL. Do you know about some functional firmware for WRT160NL with repeater WiFi mode please?
