I have played with DD-WRT on linksys wrt54g version 5 last week (2 different ones, they are the model with less memory so i needed to use the micro version). I tried to use it as a repeater. (might have something to do with it)
So far i read reports on great succes everywhere, my experience are not as good, the machines become highly unstable and i experienced heavy packetloss at random times. Encryption didn't work at all. Maybe other versions (with more memory or faster CPU's) are better, but my results were a disaster and i would not consider running Asterisk on top of that.
