*CODE HACKERS* found a way to stuff the Penguin back into the new and 
cheaper Linksys WRT54G Wi-Fi routers which run Vxworks, according to a 
news post on the dd-wrt project portal 
<http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/index.php>.

The hack allows users to to install linux by first erasing all traces of 
the Vxworks proprietary real-time operating system, and this without 
having to open the unit. "There is now a way to flash a WRT54G/GSv5 
without any big modification or opening the unit", stated a message 
posted on the site, pointing to a forum user as the inventor of the hack.
