The WRT54G runs a MIPS CPU, the G has 16M of RAM and 4 or 8M of Flash
(v1.0 8M, v1.1 and 2.0 4M) V1/1.1 125MHz, v2.0 200MHz), the GS has 32M of
RAM and 8M of Flash 200MHz MIPS CPU. The GS has also integrated USB but
not actually available (outside the chip).

The Linksys GPL stuff comes with a complete toolchain to build from a
Linux x86 environment.
