I recently got hold of an older LinkSys BEFW11S4 router. I've updated
the firmware to the latest available version and generally it all checks
out. However, it seems to have a persistent problem in connecting to the
Net -- the connection will get dropped, apparently without prior cause.

Before I consign it to the trash, I thought I'd ask: Since these little
blue boxes run embedded Linux, is there any way to replace the internals
with some open firmware? I've googled a bit but can only find info about
the WRT54GS, the big brother of the unit I've got.

Any suggestions or ideas welcomed. It's very annoying -- I have another
LinkSys unit that is completely rock-solid, and the pesky problem with
this one seems like such a little thing...  <<drawn-out hardware sigh>>
