called WRT54GS

Which I understand is just a little bit quicker for 802.11g devices. 
If this device is linux device, that means that there IS 802.11g 
support for linux ?

Yes, It is based on the Broadcom chip.  Cheapest price I have found retail in 
Australia in $150.  (Froogle USD62) 

There are a number of Linux distros / firmware  for the box including openwrt 
and sveasoft.com.

Conceptually  openwrt is similar to Debian with a small base system and 
indiviual functions made into packages in a format called ipkg.  Sveasoft 
tries to cram everything into a single image.
