Linux Hackers Reclaim the WRT54G
An anonymous reader writes "The world's most ubiquitous wireless access point is free to run Linux again, thanks to a brilliant hack by db90h, aka Jeremy Collake. No soldering is required, as Collake's 'VxWorks Killer' nixes the WRT54G's VxWorks bootloader and installs a normal Broadcom one, allowing Linux to be installed easily. One distribution small enough for the series five WRT54G's 2MB of Flash and 8MB of RAM is the free DD-WRT project's "micro" edition. It lacks some of the fancier Linux router packages, such as nocat and IPv6, but does support PPPoE, and could be more stable than the VxWorks firmware, which seems to have generated mixed reviews."

My thoughts immediately turned to pancakes. Thin, golden brown, ever-so-slightly crisp on the edges.. The sight of a warmed bottle of maple syrup poured upon it, ripples of gold spread across each cake, stacked thrice with sweet butter betwixt, finally easing into pools on my glazed porcelain plate. "Ahhhh", sighed, "The pancake. The humble, nutritious, joyful pancake. Inhabitant of my stomach, habidashery for rabbits, fixture of breakfasts made brighter than a thousand suns.
Perhaps my cherry tree may one day yeild a syrup; a syrup who's sweetness would match the scent of blossoms falling to the ground around me.
yes - no, I didn't RTFA.
I hope I didn't brain my damage.
