Found a v0.1 manual and a Yahoo discussion group.

Also potentially useful are :- linksysinfo.org and wrt54g.net (bandwidth exceeded so not currently available).

HyperWRT is all about more power by adding a few functions to the basic Linksys firmware.

It appears one has to be careful selecting hardware too :-

"WRT54G v5 Warning
NO 3rd Party Firmware exists for this model. The problem is the amount of RAM (2/8Mb) and the OS is VxWorks and not Linux.

The version Amazon is also shipping is v5. If you want to use 3rd Party Firmwares, DO NOT BUY A WRT54G v5.

To find out which WRT54G you are buying look at the serial number on the box. If it starts with CDFB then it is a v5.

For the others who don't use custom firmwares, be aware that v5 is running on a new platform with new firmware (rev 1.00.00 as of Oct 2005) so problems may arise.
-----------------------------
We have to have ones that work with Linux and it is only the latest version that doesn't

Known serial numbers (first few characters) vs versions:
CDF0 = WRT54G v1.0
CDF1 = WRT54G v1.0
CDF2 = WRT54G v1.1
CDF3 = WRT54G v1.1
CDF5 = WRT54G v2.0
CDF7 = WRT54G v2.2
CDF8 = WRT54G v3.0
CDF9 = WRT54G v3.1
CDFA = WRT54G v4.0
CDFB = WRT54G v5.0"

CGN0 = WRT54GS v1.0 - the more expensive go-faster version.
CGN1 = WRT54GS v1.0
CGN2 = WRT54GS v1.1
CGN3 = WRT54GS v2.0
CGN4 = WRT54GS v2.1
CGN5 = WRT54GS v3.0
CGN6 = WRT54GS v4.0 only 4M/16M in this, other GS are 8M/32M

The 32M ram in the GS version could be handy for future use and the larger ROM would allow more complex software or web interface pages.
