Yes, Linksys has totally changed the hardware with the v.5 of the
WRT54G and it no longer works with third party firmware.  However, the
good news is there is a new model, the WRT54GL (the "L" means Linux)
which is basically a v.4 WRT54G.  This will continue to be produced by
Linksys for the third party firmware crowd!  Way to go, Linksys! ;-)

If you find a WRT54G with a serial number starting with CDFB or
higher, then it is a v.5 and is no good for experimenting.  You either
need one with a serial number of CDFA or lower, or just get yourself a
WRT54GL.
