Glad we could sort out your problem.

I'm a native french speaker and my english is not always great when I
just got out of bed ;-).

It used to be an issue on the WRT54G but the script to compile wifidog
for the WRT54G (ipkg/rules) makes sure that the module is put in the
.ipk package so the WRT using crowd hasn't been running into this
problem very much (or those that have haven't been vocal about it.)

I've updated the FAQ and added an entry in the main gateway install checklist.
