Turn your old computer into a Linksys router
 By Theo Valich: Friday 16 February 2007, 13:16

    IF YOU ARE A hardware nut, like yours truly, you will spend at least a
    part of a weekend making something work. Or breaking it.

    In any case, I came across a website that enables you to run open-sauced
    firmware from a Linksys WRT54G wireless router on a PC. The OpenWRT
    Firmware [1] was recently compiled to work on x86-based systems and it
 has no problems running on either Linux or Windows. For an old machine, or
 on multithreaded CPUs of today, this could prove to be a good experiment.
 Graynetwork.org posted a workshop [2] that includes all the details on how
 to get it running, so head over there and experiment a bit.
