Done it to my Linksys WRT54G and flashed with the Sveasoft firmware.  Am 
able to go back and forth between "hacked" and original w/o issue.

Works great!  Sveasoft firmware gives ability to increase transmission 
power from radio and enable both radios at the same time (using one 
original antenna and one modified outdoor antenna to reach my sisters 
house 2 blocks away)  The performance is roughly 802.11b at these 
distances, but workable!
