Adventures with a Linksys WRT-54GL

I needed to beef up my home wireless setup recently, and rearrange the domestic network generally. I got a Linksys WRT-54GL. It's now the home internet gateway,

I've replaced the original firmware with OpenWRT. I was attracted by its package range and general Debian-like package flexibility.

Web content filtering

I use the most excellent Dan's Guardian to filter web content for our children. I found a reference on the OpenWRT website suggesting that it was possible to run Dan's Guardian on some Linksys, though without the large URL blacklist. But this was with a WRT54GS version 1, which has 32Mb RAM. The WRT54GL has 16Mb.
