	I have uploaded "experimental" OpenWRT to a WRT54G v2 (which 
originally had the 3.03.6 firmware, IIRC) using the stock
web admin upload/upgrade page.  You should be able to downgrade
to the 3.03.2 firmware that has the ping.asp exploit to set
boot_wait=on.

See this

for more information.  Also, their IRC channel is filled with
helpful folks -- irc.freenode.net #wrt54g

cheers.
