Sounds great. 

BTW, a number of people have pointed out that WPA isn't supported yet. 
That's true, but WEP is.  I set up a second wrt54g router on a different 
channel (6 instead of 11) with WEP instead of WPA and am able 
to connect to it.  I did have to use the hex key that the Linksys 
firmware generated 
rather then the passphrase but that's not a real problem.  WEP may be 
"broken", but 
it is better then running an open network..
