DD-WRT vlan Info
Confirmed the WRT54G v8.2 supports port-based vlans via the GUI.

Confirmed the WRT54G v8.2 supports port-based vlans via nvram with micro-plus-SSH.

WRT54G v8.2's ports are mapped like this:  1 2 3 4 | case labels 3 2 1 0 | nvram port numbers

DD-WRT Notes

 * 1) In Vista/IE, after attempting to upload the initial killer software, the process appeared to not work several times as dd-wrt-wiki:User:Clock clock received a browser error screen. The modem looked like it may be bricked (broken). The Peacock thread  said, "If reply has TTL of 100, the bootloader (CFE) is responding. This is the best time to start the TFTP transfer. In most cases you should be able to flash dd-wrt firmware if you are getting any ttl=100 responses." The user was able to do the subsequent tftp using the tftp.exe referenced in previous sections.

A CFE compressor is available for the Gv8.0, and 8.2. It enables micro_plus to be put on the router. Click here.

DD-WRT v24 RC1 micro supports this router.

[DD-WRT v24 RC3] The the WRT54 Gv8 and WRT54GSv7 is now fully supported, but requires a special flashing procedure (which is simpler than the v5 and v6 vxworks killer procedure).

See http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20095

[DD-WRT v24 RC4] There are some issues with RC3 which are resolved in RC4. CFE update is critical if updating from RC3. There is an issue with port 4 not working on some routers using RC4.

[DD-WRT v24 RC5] How To Flash the WRT54Gv8 Just follow the instructions as listed, be sure to restart your modem when the install is finished and don't forget the login is root with a password of admin. headpin11

[DD-WRT v24 RC6.2] Supported -> Broadcom Generic / Micro

[DD-WRT v24 Final] As of late April 2008, the WRT54G v7.2 is now supported via the micro version of DD-WRT. (Note that the micro and the mini versions are different. For the differences, read What is DD-WRT?).
