NYCWireless, If anyone does want to try putting m0n0wall on a Linksys, get the WRT54GS (aka "with Speedbooster"). It comes with 8MB EEPROM, whereas the regular WRT54G has just 4MB (m0n0wall needs "less than 5MB").
Caveat emptor: I'm not saying it will work. I have no idea if you actually can put m0n0wall on a Linksys--that's what I'm asking. Has anyone done this? Here's the potential value... * Approximate price for a correctly outfitted Soekris: $300 * Approximate price for Linksys WRT54GS: $117 Let us know.
