You will need to make sure the router is a wrt54g v1-4 or just get a
wrt54gl (almost identical in every way to the wrt54g v4) (4M flash/8M ram)

while I think you may be able to run linux on the wrt54g v5+ now, but
they have only 2M of flash and 4M of ram so the usefulness in terms of
what you can run on them is very limited.

There are other similar devices some have more memory then others older
WRT54GS's had 8M of flash memory (32M ram) and a slightly faster CPU
which can make a diff if you want to run OpenVPN or other funky things
that can chew CPU.

ASUS makes a product that can run OpenWT/dd-wrt but they have a USB port
so you can plug a hdd into them.
