Re: Flashing a WRT54G router (with v7.00.1 firmware) with a linux firmware?

I have a WRT54G router with v7.00.1 firmware (serial number starting

distros (for better QoS, user restriction management, etc) but I read
on the Tomato site (http://www.polarcloud.com/
tomatofaq#how_do_i_find_my_linksys_wrt54) that my router doesn't seem
to be supported and similar on the Bitsum (http://www.bitsum.com/
openwiking/owbase/ow.asp?WRT54G5%5FCFE) site.

My question is: Is there a relatively full featured Linux firmware
"upgrade" that will work on my model of WRT54G router? Any help or
suggestions would really be appreciated!

You will probably get a few responses to this but I don't think the
VxWorks based units are Linux compatible. That is WRT54G units
starting with V5.

I don't think there is an easy solution to this and the Linux
compatible units are REALLY scarce in the stores and even getting
difficult to find on EBay.

Good luck!

(I have set the follow up to only comp.os.linux.networking.)
