This DD-WRT wiki page gives some info on the various Linksys as well
as other supported brands.

Another available and compatible brand to consider is ASUS.

The $50 WL520gU looks similar to the WRT54GL except it has a USB port:

From a customer review:

"DD-WRT builds v.24 RC5 and later run on this router. .....It is the
lowest-price router I could find with the 240 MHz Broadcom 5354
chipset, 16 MB RAM, and 4 MB flash - which is a great spec to support
a standard DD-WRT install, and a much better deal than the Linksys
WRT-54GL."



The $70 WL-5000G Premium has 2 USB ports and more memory but it seems
to have an older chipset...

Might look for the Deluxe version instead of the Premium - check the
"supported device" specs at dd-wrt.com

I kinda doubt that dd-wrt supports the USB ports - but if so, they
could come in handy.
