This has been bothering me - there are 5 different hardware versions of the WRT54G wireless router (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.2, 3.0) and many of the open firmware platforms like openwrt or sveasoft (The betrayer of the word open) only run on particular hardware versions. The main changes are the processor, amount of RAM/FLASH, the wireless hardware and the ethernet hardware
Check out all the differences here

We have ordered three batches of Linksys hardware - I must check which hardware platforms we have
My Linksys on my roof gave the following results
Result of the command
$>cat /proc/cpuinfo

FYI - I just firmwared the latest freifunk (July 13, 2005) onto a v2.0 and v3.0 WRT54G. It seems to work fine - now I just have to follow your instructions for OLSR and then get testing. Then maybe I can get decent internet going in Malawi.!
Thanks for the site
