[isf-wifidog] Re: WRT54G v5? What are people moving to?

It does seems like the Linksys WRT54GL (L for Linux) is a confirmed 
product, obviously until we get out hands on them we can't be sure but 
it looks hopeful. Here's an email from the Wireless Toronto list

I just got off the phone with Linksys. Apparently the WRT54GL will be
available through regular distribution channels starting at the end of
November. According to Linksys, their pricing will be identical to the
current model [WRT54G], so if a retailer is trying to charge more you 
might want to think about a different retailer.

Good news for the future of the community projects that have sprouted up
around these units!
