Hi there, I do have one of the WRT54Gs and did contribute some scripts to James, the head developer of the sveasoft firmware. I do not have the most recent firmware since I had a few issues "subscribing" to the development process but I still am thinking about getting more involved. The web admin interface on the version of the firmware that I'm using offers very little in the way of customizing the tc rules. However, all you need to do to make them as granular as you want is to enable SSH, ssh in and just copy/paste your script in. The firmware overall works great though with my v1 router the processor gets maxxed out very quickly if you are transferring files over the PPTP vpn. I know that better access to the bandwidth management from the web interface is on the development list. Last I heard/read they are incorporating both the l7 filters and the p2p wall projects. It's an awesome product for ~6W of power and $70. There are 3 versions now, v1, v2, and the WRT54GS. I believe the v2 has more flash and/or RAM, the S model has the turbo mode for "108Mbps" performance. V1 and v2 have slightly different vlan/bridging setups between the wired and wireless.

It's the first time I really noticed that these little Linksys routers are such a fully fledged linux machine with a decent processor and a replacable firmware. I am now itching to get one to replace the multipurpose firewall desktop machine. Has anyone experimented with the current state of the firmware and how advanced you can get with tc rules? For example is any of the l7 stuff incorporated yet? A 200Mhz processor and 8-32Mb ram seems butch enough for many small home and office firewall machines...
