[TriLUG] OT: WRT54G loosing wired connections

[Jason Tower]

at least on the linux based WRTs the stock firmware sucks.  for a while the 
trilug WRT we use at meetings (an older linux model, not a newer vxworks 
one) ran stock firmware and it was constantly dropping connections.  after i 
reflashed it to a "community" firmware it worked great.
