[Novalug] Wireless router in reverse...

[Ed James]

Or, use a WAP54G set in client mode.  Nice thing is that the WAP
has a web interface, so you don't need anything more than a
browser on yer 'puter to access and mod the WAP.

I have one of each, but have not yet risked bricking the WRT by
installing third-party software.  It's on my to-do list.  The
reason for "older" WRT is because the newer ones have less RAM
installed.  Those DD-WRT type systems are really pretty kewl,
IMHO.
