Linksys WRT54GL + DD-WRT software

The following is a summary of the steps necessary to flash the Linksys WRT54GL router with DD-WRT software to create a wireless router that contains no proprietary software.

Hungry for an open source wireless router I picked up a WRT54G and a WRT54GLfrom TigerDirect. My intention was to try out and report on the DD-WRT software project. Both the WRT54G and the WRT54GL are supposed to work with DD-WRT, however, their may be issues with WRT54G. The following documents the trouble free flashing steps I followed to install DD-WRT on a WRT54GL router. Presumably, the L stands for Linux. Both units run Linux right out of the box, and it is for this reason that these routers have become famous. There are several other 3rd party firmware projects for the WRT54G / WRT54GL routers, but I am choosing DD-WRT for several reasons:

1) It is a mature project.
2) It is a Linux based free and open source project wireless router / gateway that supports client bridge mode as a method of geographically extending a wireless LAN.
3) It is externally documented
4) It is internally documented
4) Supports Internet keep alive persistent Internet connection
5) supports ssh communication to my LAN from remote locations
6) It is a Linux Wireless router! See reason #2. The router has Linux inside.

So whatever your reasons, you’ve got a Linksys WRT54GL and you want to flash the OS with DD-WRT. The following is a mini how to of the steps I followed that worked. Here is my attempt to document a first flashing attempt of DD-WRT on a Linksys WRT54GL. Once you have identified that you too have a Linksys WRT54GL you may want to refer to then WRT54GL flashing first steps.

disclaimer: Following this procedure will most likely end your warranty with Linksys.

The first thing to know is the version of the firmware installed on the WRT54GL. Log into the Linksys router through a standard ethernet cat5 or cat6 cable. [(I am using Ubuntu Linux Dapper Drake v6.06 on a Dell Latitude Laptop with the FireFox web browswer)]. Plug one end of a cat5 ethernet cable into the WRT54GL position 1 to connect with a standard ethernet card eth0.
// get a dhcp lease from the WRT54GL
$sudo dhclient eth0
// open FireFox web browswer and surf to

    Operators of a Jewish cemetery in Mission Hills allegedly broke open concrete interment vaults and discarded or lost human remains as they made room for additional decedents, heavy equipment operator schools lasvegas nevada
    attorneys asserted Monday.

    A class-action lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday against Eden Memorial Park and its parent company, Service Corporation International, heavy equipment construction auctions
    alleges that the cemetery attempted to improperly squeeze plots together for profit, breaking existing vaults and moving or discarding remains in the process.

    “We’re aware of instances where they literally lost bodies,” said Michael Avenatti, the lead plaintiff’s attorney. “In other words, loved ones have been going to graves that have been empty.”

    A manager at the cemetery, heavy equipment jobs kamloops

    When my husband was denied Medicare for his prescription I thought we were going to have to cancel our trip to visit our Grandchildren. Thanks to trasted drugs shop we were able to find the reasonably priced medication he needed and we could still afford the trip.
