There's a newer version now where Linksys has reintroduced support for all the Linux-based firmware. They're the WRT54GL version. It makes it much easier for someone purchasing to determine whether or not the router will support that firmware. No more cracking open the box and checking the version number!

They've changed the platform completely. The hardware table on openwrt.org has the serial numbers of the new models so you know what not to buy. - Ian On 3/30/06, David Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: RE: Asterisk on Linksys WRT54GS Bar far the easiest method is to replace the router firmware with OpenWRT (http://www.openwrt.org). Asterisk is made available as an optional OpenWRT package. The original work was done by Brian Capouch. We will have one at the show (mine) and Nabeel has offered a WiFi phone to use the AP. I'm not sure if pushing OpenWRT is the right thing to do though. This quickly deteriorates into geek speek "what funky platforms can we put Linux on" discussion as opposed to what business function we can enable. I think if the WRT portion stays in the brochure, rather than point to product URL's we should articulate its usefulness as a remote PBX endpoint over IP that is fully integrated for the remote & teleworker crowd. Strictly business - a $100 access point that provides this function sure beats the proprietary solutions from Nortel/Avaya. Position it as an "office in a box". Router, WiFi, SPI Firewall, PBX endpoint, Captive portal to police the kids access, Samba + minimal web server to publish docs to collegues/customers, ... expand as you like ..., etc. For what it's worth, OpenWRT has become much more portable now and is available on "most" higer-end WiFi routers to varying degrees of functionality. The newest Asus and Netgear units have USB 2.0 ports which can address a memory key and provide some significant non-volatile storage. dbc.
