Perhaps Linksys will do a 180 and go back to Linux on the WRT5G. So far the reviews I've been hearing about the version 5 product are bad across the board. Problems include: router locking up during install via installation CD at predictable intervals, wireless signal mysteriously disappearing, router lockups during gaming (sounds strange, but I'm just reporting the rumors), wired ports losing connectivity (now *THAT'S* odd), WPA refusing to work on some models but not others, and a host of other problems.
I also hear that Linksys is still selling Linux based WRT54GLs in Europe. Let's hope they creep back across the pond and we can chalk up this "upgrade" from linksys to a simple bad idea. Like New Coke or Clear Beer or that hideous Chicken Skin and Curry pizza slice I had in Japan.
