Just the stripped down v24 that's been out forever.  All of the Broadcom
based WRT54G versions are stable as can be, as far I've seen, but the newer
versions, (like the past 5 years!!!) suck.  DD-WRT is cool on Broadcom but
all the Atheros chips seem to throw it into crazy land.  Love those older
WRT54G routers with the big as hell flash.  Still going strong.

Which package were you running? There's a number of different variations
which have more or less features. If one doesn't need the full blown
packages it's better to run a minimalist version, and turn off what ever
services you don't need. It's a lot of setup. If you need the just basic
functionality try the Tomato firmware. It's basic and solid. The QOS is
decent (works better for me than the dd-wrt). The versions that have
everything including the kitchen sink scare me (the chances of problems and
errors rise exponentially as the code bloats).
