Good News? WRT54Gv8 Back to Broadcom

hardware | 25 Nov 2006 CST | pip
The release of the 7th version of the WRT54G worried many. Linksys has switched to a Atheros chipset, completely eliminating any chance of third-party firmware. It appeared the days of buying a WRT54G and hacking it may have ended. However, recently released FCC documents show that Linksys has reverted back to the Broadcom chipset. The 8th version of the WRT54G should appear on store shelves soon. The Broadcom chipset allows you to put, although limited, some versions of third-party firmware on your router. The serial number for the v8 is unknown but it's likely to be CDFF following Linksys binary numbering scheme.
