Tomato is another 3rd party firmware.  it only runs on 'classic' WRT54G* 
whereas dd-wrt runs on a wider range.  Tomato has a cleaner user 
interface, quite good QoS ('traffic shaping') features, and is always 
free, while the DD-Wrt project manager took DD-Wrt partially 
proprietary, to the annoyance of a lot of the contributors who 
understood it to be GPL.


pfSense is still my favorite choice, running on a low power miniboard 
like the ALIX or various Atom mini-systems.
