[ILUG] Linksys router

[Mark King]

I've had a Linksys WRT54GS for the past 2 years now, and although I
always find it fun to run Linux on any embedded device I can, putting
DD-WRT on the router has made it ten times more useful to me. I found
the original firmware lacking, buggy and unreliable. DD-WRT is much more
stable and configurable. Being able to SSH
into my LAN router from home has alone come in incredibly handy over the
years.
