Got a Linksys WRT54G? You’re the proud owner of Disruptive
Technology! Don’t have one yet? Here’s a buyer’s
guide to the hardware versions available.
The vestiges of community work on alternative firmware images is pretty h0rked
though. Between basic misunderstandings about licensing and a propsensity for
flamewars, there’s basically no really cool stuff happening. (I still
can’t understand the oft-spun yet […]
