SN's starting with CNG7 are the bad ones, CNG1/2/3/4/5/6 are fine. But once again, this is getting too geeky. We should focus on how it can solve a legitimate business problem rather that which version needs to be used.

Another thing to note is that the new versions of the WRT54G and WRT54GS aren't capable of running openwrt anymore. They've changed the platform completely. The hardware table on openwrt.org <http://openwrt.org> has the serial numbers of the new models so you know what not to buy.

    RE: Asterisk on Linksys WRT54GS

    Bar far the easiest method is to replace the router firmware with
    OpenWRT (http://www.openwrt.org). Asterisk is made available as an
    optional OpenWRT package. The original work was done by Brian
    Capouch.

    We will have one at the show (mine) and Nabeel has offered a WiFi
    phone
    to use the AP.

    I'm not sure if pushing OpenWRT is the right thing to do though. This
    quickly deteriorates into geek speek "what funky platforms can we put
    Linux on" discussion as opposed to what business function we can
    enable.

    I think if the WRT portion stays in the brochure, rather than point to
    product URL's we should articulate its usefulness as a remote PBX
    endpoint over IP that is fully integrated for the remote & teleworker
    crowd. Strictly business - a $100 access point that provides this
    function sure beats the proprietary solutions from Nortel/Avaya.
    Position it as an "office in a box". Router, WiFi, SPI Firewall, PBX
    endpoint, Captive portal to police the kids access, Samba +
    minimal web
    server to publish docs to collegues/customers, ... expand as you like
    ..., etc.

    For what it's worth, OpenWRT has become much more portable now and is
    available on "most" higer-end WiFi routers to varying degrees of
    functionality. The newest Asus and Netgear units have USB 2.0 ports
    which can address a memory key and provide some significant
    non-volatile
    storage.
