Actually you want the WRT54GL (for linux). A while back Linksys
'dumbed down' the WRT54, halving the RAM (and ROM?) and replacing
linux with vxWorks.

I bought one and it failed within the first hour. Took it back and
replaced it with a 54GL (cost another $10) and it has been working
perfectly ever since (almost a year now).
