I figure what most people want is to know whether their hardware is
supported by dd-wrt, but that can be difficult to find information so there
are the relevant links below and in the following google doc at
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddr8s7gf_15hdk3jw

Maybe this could be posted as the link to the presentation?
If someone wants to add or change something, let me know and i can add you
as an editor.

   1. *Known Incompatible HardWare* includes the *WRT54Gv7 *and the *
   WRT300Nv2*:
   http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Known_incompatible_devices
   2. Compatible Devices:
   http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices
   3. I get to the above links via the following method:

   Goto the dd-wrt.com/wiki, and then click the "Install
   <http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installation>" Link.
   http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installation

   Then click "Is your router supported?" then the "Supported Devices"
   and the " Known incompatible
devices<http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Known_incompatible_devices>"
Links.
