I have DD-wrt running on my WRT54G v5, but it only has 8mb of ram so
I'm only using it as a wireless gateway for the moment. I can't say
much about running Asterisk on one (either a WRT54G or GS) but its
defiantly possible on ones with more than 8mb of ram (like yours , the
WRT54GS and GL (which is the Linux version of the WRT54G)).
