[ale] ??Recomendations for new wireless router??

[Jamey Owens]

My current favorite when picking up yet another router I don't really need 
is the Asus WL500G Premium.  You can pick one of these up pretty easily from 
newegg.  The Asus is one of the best pieces of hardware available right now 
for openwrt with 8mb flash and 32mb ram, 2 usb switches and serial hookups 
onboard.  Only downside there is that the stock firmware isn't very high 
quality.  If you really want the standard home router options along with the 
ability to have a good firmware overload whenever you decide to jump in the 
boat there is always the wrt54gl though it doesn't have nearly as nice specs 
with 4mb/16mb.  If cost is no objection and you want it all there is the 
wrtsl54gs which is pretty much the same spec as the asus for a 30-40 dollar 
premium.

If none of this sounds good, might be worth browsing through the listings 
available at http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware to see which 
routers have been built to run stable with kamakazie and/or whiterussian.
