<div>Hi Wireless Guy.. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>I think you will find this information useful although Openwrt documentation says that they do support WRT54GS and WRT54G version 5 and 5.1 <a href="http://wiki.openwrt.org/Faq">http://wiki.openwrt.org/Faq</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>In order for Openwrt to work the WRT54GS or WRT54G must be Hackable, if I understand that correctly.. <br>Here is the documentation at <a href="http://www.seattlewireless.net/LinksysWrt54g#head-54ed53a2e05c227f96165daaa2891a542ab08167">
http://www.seattlewireless.net/LinksysWrt54g#head-54ed53a2e05c227f96165daaa2891a542ab08167</a> that says</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Version 5 of the WRT54G and WRT54GS routers. These routers run <a href="http://www.seattlewireless.net/VxWorks">VxWorks</a> instead of Linux, and they are <em>NOT HACKABLE</em>. There are many reports that the <a href="http://www.seattlewireless.net/VxWorks">
VxWorks</a>-based firmware is unstable, as well. Version 5 WRT54G units have serial numbers beginning with CDFB, and V5 WRT54GS units have serial numbers starting with CGN7. Avoid them like the plague! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>so who is correct I wonder OpenWRT or <a href="http://seattlewireles.net">seattlewireles.net</a> I think you have the opportunity to figure it out, Please let me know if you get this to work, I feel it is not suppose to work because of Vxworks.
