Yes, the Linksys WRT54G wireless router runs Linux and
CAN be modified, here are a few links:

http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/LinksysWrt54g

You can order the source code for the router here (at
$9.99 U.S.):

 http://www.linksys.com/support/gpl.asp

Remeber that the GPL requires that the source code be
made available, it doesn't say the source code must be
made available for free, a point Linksys seems well
aware of... Still, at least they (after some early
problems) seem to at least be following the letter of
the GPL (unlike some firms...).
