[Eug-lug] WRT54G and WRT54GL routers

[Mr O]

Web interface is enabled by default on the inside. You can
enable web access to the interface from the outside as well. SSH
is also supported in DD-WRT. You can also disable access to the
web interface for wireless clients. 

You buy the "linux model" of the router because it is the WRT54G
v4 which was the last version before it got crippled with
Sveasoft VXworks. Some of the later models can be flashed but
the additional RAM & ROM do allow for more.
