Couple Linksys WRT54G Questions for you Experts

A couple of questions about the venerable Linksys WRT54G Router

1) What are the diffirences between the version 2 and the earlier version 1's with one antenna ?

2) Probably a foolish question - just a matter of marketing and a newer release but what is the diffirence between the newwer Talisman and older Sveasoft firmware updates ( other than of course invalidating your genuine Linksys warranty !) ?

3) Lastly anyone play around with the new Linksys WRT54GC Compact Wireless.

Would the firmware upgrades work on this router ?

I couldn't find a side by side feature comparison between the multiple versions of Talisman, Alchemy, and the multitude of custom builds.

(Custom builds) I'm afraid you'll have to go through the pages and dig out the features you need or want.

Not yet.

Dunno. Google couldn't find any firmware that claimed to work.

Nothing on the Linksys web pile for GPL code, which is the basic pre-requisite for an alternative firmware port. Methinks not.

Picked one up this past weekend. Works just like the WRT54G, it's just smaller and has an internal wireless antenna. Has a connection to put a "real" antenna on it. Same web interface, 4 ports plus wireless. I didn't have any problems getting it configured.

A bit more information on the WRT54GC Compact Router:

Acccording to the FCC Marvell's Libertas 802.11g Access Point / Gateway Solution, which inclues an 88W8000G RF Transceiver, 88W8510H System-on-Chip (SoC) and 88E6060 5-port switch. Actually, you can't really see all the part numbers, but since Linksys uses the same chipset in its WRT54GP2 wireless VoIP router
