I am getting a Linksys WRT54GL today as my old WRK54G seems to be giving up the ghost. Has anyone on the list had any experience with running any of the non-Linksys firmware on this Router (DD-WRT, OpenWRT, Tomato, etc.) that they would care to share?
Thanks, Gene

I installed Tomato on one, worked great. Tomato has an RSS feed for firmware updates. It is technically non-free software, as the AJAX webpages are not permitted for use with other firmwares. Make sure you don't upload the wrong firmware, as the model numbers are all similar!

I've got WhiteRussian on mine it seems to work fine. When I got it I set it up only as a wireless client. Now I no longer need it for that function and would love to set up much more of the functionality, specifically a firewall via iptables. I'm thinking I will get around to this once the weather turns cold. I may have some questions for you if you know anything about home firewalls.
