I have looked through the Linksys manual for the WRT54G v6 and I don't see
any way to configure IP reservations.  But you could flash a new rom to it
and that would get you the functionality you want.  For a WRT54G version 6
I don't see any support for Tomato or openwrt, but DD-WRT says they do
support this router.
You can find the correct rom by searching here.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
DD-WRT does support IP reservations and you don't have to buy a new router.
