My Linksys WRT54G *sob sob*

I been looking forward to playing with this baby since I learn it runs Linux with all sort of cool hacks. Imaging, a linux box less then US$100, that has 802.11G and 4 port switch on board.

So last night, I happily upload a 1.4.2.33sv hacked firmware by sveasoft and it works! It is beautiful. I can telnet, sshd and can tweak a lot of stuff on it. But I spend the whole night trying to get this box to talk to my Airport Extreme without success. I tried turning it into a client, I tried making it part of Airport WDS but no success. (I did managed to get Airport to give a DHCP response tho but no ping :P)
