[TriLUG] linksys WRT54G router question

[Shane O'Donnell]

1.  Depending on the alternate distro you are running, yes.
2.  Yes, but you'd better be comfortable with iptables/netfilter and MAC
address filtering, and then be ready for some 
3.  Stock, yes.  With an alternate OS, YMMV.  Most, yes.

You always have such interesting projects...

Subject: [TriLUG] linksys WRT54G router question

I know there are several people who have this router because it is running a
hackable, modifiable version of linux.  So I have a couple questions for
you:

1. can you run cron jobs, like 'init 6' or 'shutdown -r now"?
2. can you configure it to only associate with other linksys devices such as
access points?  The linksys WAP54G access points that I have deployed down
at the outer banks can be configured to only associate with other linksys
access points and I have created a high-speed wireless "backbone" that
connects lower speed 802.11b access points which are configured to allow
anyone to associate with them.  I need to install another "segment" on the
network on the sound-side of the campground and I'd like to go ahead and
route that segment if I can, but the big requirement is to have the WRT54G
router only associate with the existing backbone using WAP54G access points?
Is this possible?
3. Does the WRT54G have a DHCP server built-in?

Just curious.

Greg
