I've had a WRT54G running in my apartment for 3 months now with no 
problems.  I'm running a recent version of the firmware from Sveasoft, 
but am considering others now.  Sveasoft has tightened up who they 
will support and how you can get support from them now, and I'm not 
convinced they've remained within the spirit of the GPL, even if they 
are within the letter of it.
