This seems to be a good place to bring this up, so here goes. The new WRT54G <Non-Linux> has a major issue most people will not see. Regardless of the web settings, it will not port forward inbound traffic. So if you set up DynDNS for a home security cam, you won't be able to get to it.
It turns out this is a well documented problem with the version 5-6 <you can do a search>. Now I understand that most people will never know the difference since they aren't serving apps, but the device is broken and hasn't been fixed. As one who has been a cheerleader for the WRT54G I am seriously disappointed.
While I was away from home my internet died, and my wife bought a replacement. The replacement has since been returned, and I got the old one running with a new power supply. So I am still on the old linux version I have had for years.
