I challenge you to find a Linksys WRT54GL in stock anywhere.

I just ordered a ASUS WL-500G Deluxe, $99.99 at newegg.com
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16839112005

I searched for a WRT54GL and ordered one from Buy.com only to have them tell me a few days later that they really did 
not have any. Another search came up with nothing.

Went back to http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware and found the ASUS WL-500G Deluxe is listed, and the cool thing is 
it has USB ports and the option of connecting an external USB hard drive or a USB stick for more storage.
