In this case?  Not a whole lot.  It does give me access to Linux's traffic
shaping, which I need to mess with.  I don't recall if the stock wrt54g had
support for that.  And, if I ever need anything fancy for my network, I'll be
able to use it for that... but not right now.

Mostly, it's just something to tinker with and, as is apparent here,
occasionally break for a nice homebrew headache.  :)
