I'm not suprised that it did not work with your d-link though - you'd be lucky for a d-link device to connect to another d-link device let alone a linksys! As far as I'm concerned, d-link wireless products are Sh** with a capital 'S' (and I say that from experience rather than any loyalty to linksys)
I agree though, DD-WRT is great software!!!!!!

*shrug* My dlink router has been working well. People were telling me what a bad choice I made when getting my WAP54G and WPC54G but they worked just fine. People again tell me I made a bad choice getting a dlink router but it too works fine.
The only wireless devices I have had issues with and suggest that you avoid like the plague are _anything_ with a ralink chipset. Those drivers are pure garbage. I have tried different chipsets(G&N) on the same and different machines(PPC, x86, Tiger, Leopard) and each one kernel panics without fail if you do much more than barely use a web browser. >:|

Aside from the drivers KPing, those suckers end up with so many errors that they basically DoS your wifi.

Also had problems with an ASUS made broadcom based PCI card lagging the wifi. We have never had _any_ issues with the hardware built into our portable computers or that WPC54G I mentioned above though.

I have a feeling that the people warning me against linksys and then later dlink in the past were just using cheap crappy hardware/drivers to connect to them. Once you get the crap hardware/drivers off your network everything works beautifully.
