Hi,

The WRET54G and S which are sold today are not Linux routers. Theu are based 
upon an embedded os and the memory on the boxes are reduced. to 2Mb flash. 
(The original GS had 8 Mb)

There might still be WRT54GL available, this is a special version for the 
Linux comunity. It has 4Mb flash and 16Mb ram.

There is a ne Linksys product called wrtsl54gs. This is interesting as it has 
8Mb flash and 32 Mb ram. It's more expensive, but adds the possiblity to ad 
USB equipment to the router.

See http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware for Linux OpenWRT supported 
devices.

And Linksys page:
