I also use this router but with the OpenWRT firmware http://www.openwrt.org/

The sveasoft firmware is based on the original linksys source and integrates 
their changes into the linksys web based configuration interface.

OpenWRT is a much more minimalist firmware that basically provides you with a 
running linux system onto which you have to install packages using ipkg. I 
don't know about sveasoft but you can install OpenVPN onto OpenWRT as well if 
you have a need for that functionality.

This router (the 54G) has been rock solid for me, I had a belkin that when I 
used it as a firewall would "loose it's brains" about once a month.
