Flashed My Firmware

I flashed my firmware. I am not ashamed. I downloaded new firmware for my wireless router, a Linksys WRT54G. I choose Thibor's HyperWRT. You see the Linksys firmware is based on Linux and was open sourced. A couple programmers have extended the code with new features. Among some of them are the ability to secure shell (SSH) to the router, have start-up scripts, increase the transmit power, overclock the processor, set QOS for Battlefield 2 and filter port scans. I flashed the firmware less than an hour ago. So far I am pleased with the performance. I plan to experiment and monitor its performance over the next week.
