Same here. That's why I was so alarmed when hearing "non-linuxable", and hoped 
that simply meant you can't change the firmware. It would be horrible if you 
couldn't even configure the router from Linux.

I hear ya brother! My Linksys travel router came with one of those buttons, 
and to me it was unfathomable, even though I was trying to config it with my 
last win98 box. I called tech support, they told me the config IP address, 
and I easily configured it.
