Get Linux running on your Linksys Router

Key words and phrases: 
Linksys WRT54 Gv8 flashing instructions WRT54G version8 ver8 ver.8 version 8.0 8 dd-wrt dd wrt linux router v8 v.8 linux
Description & Info: 

Recently my router was giving me some problems, the worst type, dropped signal!

After hours of searching around in forums and such, I concluded that it must (hopefully) have something to do with Linksys's generally bad router software, you know, the page you goto to make all your settings and stuff... usually found at 192.168.1.1

On to the good stuff...

It's all actually quite simple, and I've taken the liberty to get all you need and make it available for you right here... so, feel free to send me some beer money, or better yet, BEER! (keep in mind, I only drink quality micro and craft brews...)

Automatically making connections

Description & Info: 

Just a quick post to note that the Facebook functionality where when you type in a URL it instantly finds if there's a Facebook group with that web site is pretty cool.

It puts a little too much information about the group right embedded in your post, but still a very cool connection-maker (or re-enforcer).
