Flashing a WRT54G router (with v7.00.1 firmware) with a linux firmware?

I have a WRT54G router with v7.00.1 firmware (serial number starting CDFE1...) and I would like to flash it with one of the Linux firmware distros (for better QoS, user restriction management, etc) but I read on the Tomato site

that my router doesn't seem to be supported and similar on the Bitsum

site.

My question is: Is there a relatively full featured Linux firmware "upgrade" that will work on my model of WRT54G router? Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated!

Cheers

I recently flashed my v5 WRT54G and the ddwrt firmware offers an amazing array of new features including QoS which you're seeking. Until I found this, I thought upgrading the firmware in my v5 WRT54G router was not a possibility because it wasn't Linux based and because of the limited RAM (8Meg) in the unit. I needed to use the router as a wireless bridge and could not do so with the stock Linksys firmware. After flashing the proper firmware (mirco generic ddwrt), it's working fine as a wireless bridge connecting my DirecTV HR20 and XBox to my home network.
