Ah. I saw WRT54G and thought 'great'. I checked the hardware list at
openwrt.org (same link Alan posted), and saw that model listed. I'll
need to look at the specs a little closer to see which one I actually
bought. It's still in the shrinkwrap, so if it's not quite right, it
should be easy to exchange. I did see the WRT54GL sitting next to it
on the shelf.

Thanks for the tip.
