Finally!
Linksys has released the new v1.42.2 firmware for the WRT54G router. For
the first time, I am now able to use WPA over 802.11b without crashing the
router! In addition, "B-Only" mode works (well, at least I can connect; I'm
not sure if it keeps out 802.11g since I cannot test that). This firmware
is listed for both the v1.0 and v1.1 routers so I assume that they are
pretty much identical except for the blinking lights and voltage and
hopefully Linksys will support both in the future.
The weird thing is that the firmware release history only adds the
following:
"Firmware Version 1.42.2
- Updated wireless driver to 3.31.15
- Added URL and contents filters
- Added L2TP passthrough
- Added HeartBeat Signal support
- Resolved issue with Connect on Demand"
What about:
- WPA now works over 802.11b?
- B-Only mode now works?
Anyway, I'm going to leave my computer connected over WPA (maybe no more
128-bit WEP) and hopefully it will stay connected. Yay.
