tomato on router (wireless bridge)

[Thufir Hawat]

I thought that "tomato" ran on all sorts of routers, but apparently not:



    Linksys WRT54GL v1.x, WRT54G v1-v4, WRT54GS v1-v4, WRTSL54GS (no USB 
support)
    Buffalo WHR-G54S, WHR-HP-G54, WZR-G54, WBR2-G54, WBR-G54, WZR-HP-G54, 
WZR-RS-G54, WZR-RS-G54HP, WVR-G54-NF, WHR2-A54-G54, WHR3-AG54
    Asus WL520GU (no USB support), WL500G Premium (no USB support), 
WL500GE
    Sparklan WX6615GT, Fuji RT390W, Microsoft MN-700 

Note: Most WRT54G and WRT54GS (not WRT54GL) sold in stores right now are 
the v5.0+ variety and will not work with Tomato.

Now I have a Netgear router:

on to which I'd like to install Tomato or a similar Linux firmware, 
however this seems unlikely.  Currently I'm using an IOGear bridge for 
the internet connection, which then plugs into the router:

However, I'd rather just have the Netgear connect to the wireless access 
point directly, and use the Netgear router as a bridge without the IOGear 
device at all (hope that makes sense.)

Is this possible with this model router?  Google seems to be saying "no"..



thanks,
