As one who has a Linksys wrt54g (one of those revisions that's
compatible) I'm very interested in this, and any more information you
can offer.
In particular, what can you do now that you couldn't before?
I've been sorely tempted to upgrade it to non-linksys firmware; one of
the problems I have is it tends to die under load, requiring a reset,
and if there's nobody around, a reset is fairly inconvenient.
I have an old the WRT54G that used to have v2.04.4 Linksys firmware.
The one thing I know I can do now that I couldn't do before is have DNS lookup for the
machines on my local network. That feature is why I tried this.
You can go to the DD-WRT web site, the to the About page of the Wiki that will give an
overview of the features. I am thinking of upgrading further from the mini version to the
standard version because I think I might be able to create a bridge between the wireless
network and the LAN. I need to do some more reading first.
So far no problems with the new firmware.
Steve.
