The vxworks models had much worse performance than the original linux versions (As far as I recall the v5 of the WRT54G was when they moved it to vxworks). vxworks was so not a router OS, and I don't think Linksys had considered that before deciding to change the OS to save flash and ram because vxworks was smaller and didn't have the GPL thing to deal with. -- Len Sorensen -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
