I was just about to suggest the Powersense module that Cory mentioned. And no, the G models do not support 802.3af.
Cory, there was some discussion about just doing the cable only works on "dumb" poe injectors, not the ones that only send power if requested. I was under the impression the Linksys only sent power if requested, and if that was the case only the Powersense would work. Admittedly, I have not tried the cable only approach.
The discussions were all from this list several months ago. There was also someone that said the cable that converts standard POE to use for the Polycom non standard POE phones would work as well. I haven't tried this yet either.
I may do some experimenting today. Guess I should locate my oldest 7960 first, in case there are sparks and a fire :-)

There is an RJ45 cabling guide on the WIKI that shows how to create a
reverse polarity crossover cable to power Cisco legacy PoE phones, and I can
attest that it works with all the applications I have tried.
Belkin/Powersense also makes an inline module for Cisco CDP that is
relatively inexpensive.
