Hi Bill, you need this model : 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series#WRT54GL

Its the version of that Linksys hardware configured (w/extra RAM)
to run Linux.

Linksys released the WRT54GL in 2005 to support third-party firmware
based on Linux, after the original WRT54G line was switched from Linux
to VxWorks, starting with version 5. The WRT54GL is technically a
reissue of the version 4 WRT54G.

Version 1.1 
As of May 8, 2008, this version was shipping with firmware
revision 4.30.11. This pre-loaded firmware allows the user to
upload a 4MB firmware image, whereas the pre-loaded firmware on
version 1.0 limited the image to 3MB. Firmware version 4.30.12 is
now available for both hardware versions. Fully supported by
Tomato, Sveasoft, OpenWrt, and DD-WRT.
