OpenWRT is goodness. I've converted two of my WRT54G's to OpenWRT, and now they're proper Linux boxen, without all the fluff that the Linksys crappy firmware adds to them.

I've installed olrsd. It's awesome. I've also configured both the WRT's and my notebook to use "ad-hoc" mode, which means they can all talk directly to each other, if need be. Ad-hoc mode is better than AP, or Client mode, in my opinion, especially if you're not going to be bridging ethernet traffic, but rather use TRUE and PROPER IP routing between the nodes.

Ad-hoc mode is the only way to create a mesh network, which is my ultimate goal. It works well so far. I can see a big market coming up for Linksys equipment, simply due to it's open nature and customisation possibilities. I'm getting 16Mb/s between the meshnodes, using the raw routing capabilities of the WRT's, not the bridging (which is less CPU intensive).

This means that the WRT's will take just about anything thrown at it, routing wise. /me cheers
