[Liverpool] Re: Liverpool Digest, Vol 88, Issue 4

[Jason Tokarz]

I have a WRT54G running Sveasoft firmware (I installed it prior to the 
licensing 'issues' and haven't got round to changing it).  It is excellent, I 
would recommend this router to anyone.
As for the models after changing to a proprietory OS on the WRT54G, Linksys 
released a models specifically geared to Linux users, it's called WRT54GL 
IIRC.
