Plus it needs 64megs ram as everything is loaded into ram.

Spoke too soon. I seem to remember m0n0wall does not yet work with
802.11g...
Sorry for the lost detail.

NYCWireless,
If anyone does want to try putting m0n0wall on a Linksys, get the
WRT54GS (aka with Speedbooster). It comes with 8MB EEPROM, whereas
the regular WRT54G has just 4MB (m0n0wall needs less than 5MB).
Caveat emptor: I'm not saying it will work. I have no idea if you
actually can put m0n0wall on a Linksys--that's what I'm asking. Has
anyone done this?
Here's the potential value...
* Approximate price for a correctly outfitted Soekris: $300
* Approximate price for Linksys WRT54GS: $117
Let us know.

If you have a WRT54G, here's what you can use it for after less
than
an hour's work. You get all the original Linksys functions plus
SSH,
Wonder Shaper, L7 regexp iptables filtering, frottle, parprouted,
the
latest Busybox utilities, several custom modifications to DHCP and
dnsmasq, a PPTP server, static DHCP address mapping, OSPF routing,
external logging, as well as support for client, ad hoc, AP, and
WDS
wireless modes.
If that last paragraph meant nothing at all to you, look at it this
way: the WRT54G with Sveasoft firmware is all you need to become
your
cul de sac's wireless ISP. Going further, if a bunch of your
friends
in
town had similarly configured WRT54Gs, they could seamlessly work
together and put out of business your local telephone company.
Huh! My main problem in the foreseeable future is overlapping
independent access points. I think if people knew how to connect
to
a
common node (Cornelia Street, etc.), they would. The problem I've
seen
is that while D-link will repeat for other d-links, no solution
will
repeat for another vendor.
Could Linux enable a web of local access points using different
hardware (Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, etc)? Is there a way in the
software to two access points of different hardware to behave like
family? Does this exist now?
Rob
BTW, m0n0wall (impossible-to-remember URL--
http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/
)
turned out to be a very easy web-based router configuration tool
and
very Linksys-like. If you've used Linksys's utility, it's not a far
jump to m0n0wall. I wonder if I could flash that onto my Linksys
BEFWSR14.
