The WRT54G runs linux and thus uses iptables (well, except for the
newest ones which run VXWorks... this page will show you which one you
have:

). You can put after market versions of linux on it. I currently have
2 at home running the sveasoft firmware, which I paid for membership
to help support the project.

However, the openWRT project:

is very nice. Here's a HOWTO using Firewall Builder to configure the Linksys.
