Yeah, that was my point.

V2.0 units like Jim's are excellent for dd-wrt use, but is
it like they are rare or something? They appear to be in the
class of V2.0 through V4.0 WRT54G's and WRT54GL's.
Currently, I'm using a WRT54GL with dd-wrt that was found in
the trash.

Sacrilege is a little dramatic, but whatever...


If you missed out on the WRT54G V2.0 offered,  go buy a
WRT54GL.

BTW, would WDS work for someone looking to do client mode?
