Earthlink releases hacked firmware for Linksys routers

theinquirer.net — THE RESEARCH ARM of the american ISP giant Earthlink, has released experimental firmware for the popular Linksys WRT54G routers, modified by them to add IPv6 support. This removes the need for "NAT" translation and can in fact make every device in your home have a public IPv6 address (if such devices and computers support IPv6).

    I don't like Sveasoft code. Most of it is extremely buggy.

    If you want the features that Sveasoft firmware has, use Freeman (free version of Sveasoft Tailsman) or DD-WRT (based on Sveasoft Alchemy with additional features).

    If you want something basic with a bit more -- try HyperWRT or ewrt.

    If you want something extremely powerful -- try OpenWRT.
