[TriLUG] WRT54G who's using what

[Randy Barlow]

I've been using the Sveasoft firmware that is freely available (freeman, 
I think?).  I don't think it's open source, but it is a little easier to 
configure than OpenWRT for those like me who don't know too much about 
networking, since it still has the nice graphical web based interface.

    Actually, we have a cool setup at our house.  It's a rental, so I 
didn't want to put holes in the walls and wire the house with cable, so 
I use my WRT54G as a bridge to my roommate's WRT54G to get my computer 
on the network.  I did this because we already had the routers from 
before and I didn't want to buy another wireless card when the router 
already has the hardware I need :)
