Mine's the circa 2001 BEFSX41. I see that there's actually new firmware |
| 2 |
out. Maybe I'll have to give it a shot. The killer is that there's no |
| 3 |
way to export settings, except for browser screenshots in my Wiki. |

Ooooo...scanning eBay and openwrt.org for the WRT54GS looks like that |
| 6 |
may be even cheaper than my Slug idea. It's not a Gentoo solution, but |
| 7 |
it'll let me connect my three other Gentoo boxes. ;) |

Is it one of the linux-based models? Are you using the stock firmware? |
| 26 |
Have you |
| 27 |
tried openwrt (or its brethren)? |

If it's not capable of running linux, you can pick up an older WRT54GS |
| 30 |
(or one |
| 31 |
of the many similar pieces of hardware from various manufacturers). I'm |
| 32 |
running |
| 33 |
openwrt on my WRT54GS v1.1, and I'm much happier with it than the stock |
| 34 |
firmware. |
