:How about because Linksys was bought by Cisco(who is dead set against open source code). And how about that Linksys hasn't made source code available for any of their other product lines than the WRT54 line that has the open source code in it.
A WRT54G with 3rd party firmware is not the same as a Cisco router. They might contain similar functionality, but Cisco routers are designed for corporations that contains hundreds or thousands of users. Cisco routers are also used on many of the major Internet hubs.
