You can do that with the freeman firmware too. It's a matter of using vconfig or something. I have done it before. With openwrt it is very easy to define the vlan's in the nvram and then get the ifup command to automatically set things up. Basically the wrt54g has a 5-port ethernet switch device, collectively known as "eth0." Using vlan tagging on the ethernet packets, you can group the ports anyway you want. I'm planning to completely turn off bridging between my ports and do straight routing with vlans (and firewall rules between each vlan). I just barely discovered that with a couple of simple nvram settings and the nas ipkg, I can turn on WPA, which is nice. Anyway, I don't miss the web interface at all. > > Also please check out my GKrellM for WRT54G page: > http://chriscarey.us/software/gkrellm/wrt54g/ very cool. Copying to /usr/bin now...
