 | | OpenWrt, the GPLed Linux distribution for wireless routers, is at RC4 and is nearing the 1.0 release. |
 | | I found that of all the WRT54G-compatible firmware projects, OpenWrt was (and still is) the only project that is not just trying to cram some extra features into the standard firmware or adapt it for a specific usage scenario, but instead created a new, modular system that others like myself could hack and build on. |
 | | All in all, the OpenWrt Admin Console (webif) is a nice tool that makes OpenWrt a little more accessible to non-guru users like me. I've heard unofficial chatter on the #openwrt channel on the FreeNode IRC network that iptables management will be included in a future version. |
