I finally picked up a WRT54G ($61 now, + $10 rebate). This is a v2 model (200MHz MIPS chip), and seems to load up firmware 3rd party firmware ok. The main thing I want is traffic shaping, but stats might be nice too.
- EWRT – a Sveasoft Samadhi2 fork; has NoCatSplash, Wondershaper+iproute2, power selection, RSSI stats reporting, remote syslogging
- OpenWRT – modular system that uses packages for features. Quagga, but no Wondershaper pacakge?
- Wifibox – nice installation, but no QoS
- LinksysWrt54g – might be fun to build my own package
