I just pop up an idea.
Since the OS of linksys Routers and Gateways are Linux based, would it be possible to be hacked and turned into a Linux workstation or servers in addition to its current limited applications. |

![]() "If you are looking to buy a Linksys router, be aware that only the WRTG54L still uses the open firmware based on Linux and can be flashed with an Linux-based alternative." From my own experience the quote is inaccurate. I have and use both the older version of WRT54G and the WRT54GS version. The second version can/has been flashed with the ddt-wrt system. If you look at their site you will find up to date information on all Linksys routers which can/have been flashed and a load of other devices which can also be flashed. Other versions of these open firmware systems are also capable of being flashed onto numerous devices. "Google is your Friend!" ![]() |

You'll get dd-wrt on there, but not much else. I don't think there's even enough room left to make them into kismet-drones. |

From my little experience, DON'T EVER BUY any WAG54G linksys Gateway series.
They don't have linux inside, and also they don't work well. That model could be a big source of troubles, so be aware, and read the forums before you buy it. Cheers. |
