If you want to buy a new, linux version, the wrt54GL still runs linux (that's the L) and is 16/4 like the wrt54G v4
So, the bad news is that they switched to VXworks and the RAM/Flash reduction outweighed the licensing costs. However, people were buying enough of them because they could modify the linux firmware to justify a continued linux version.

Where did you find that chart? The one I looked at a few months ago
showed V5 having half the memory of V4, and V4 having the same as
V3 and earlier.
