Hi,
I'm looking to buy a wireless router that allows traffic prioritization and flow control (like Linux TBF queueing discipline does). I found it greatly improves the responsiveness of my broadband connections.
Linksys WRT54G / WRT54GS seem to be the perfect solution, since it runs Linux
it does run linux but you shouldn't think that it runs a full version of linux. It runs a stripped version compiled for it's MIPS processor. There are firmwares which will do what you want though.
and I could use any feature of the Linux traffic control on it, by using simple 'tc' commands. However, I couldn't find this model (or any Linksys wireless router) selling in Israel.
So:
1. Does anyone know a store selling WRT54G(S) in Israel? (I'm trying to avoid ordering overseas on eBay...)
2. Is this model considered outdated, thus the reason nobody seems to sell it?
There are not out of date- the WRT54GS has more ram and memory so you have more room to play. It also has the speedboost feature which will only make a difference to you if you are using a speedboost capable adapter.
It is important to know that these models have version numbers as well. Not every version of the router has been successfully hacked yet. this includes the wrt54g v2.2 and the wrt54gs v1.1
For more information, check these sites:

3. Are there any other Linux-based or similarily-open wireless routers?
there are plenty. See here: http://openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware

I'll appreciate any tips.
