The following hardware represents likely "best candidates" for getting the most out of the latest OpenWRT - Kamikaze.

• 8MB or more of FLASH
• 32MB or more of RAM
• 200MHz or higher (266MHz+ preferred) Processor
• USB preferred

• Under $200

Asus WL-500g Premium v1

• Broadcom 4704 @ 266MHz
• 8MB
• 32MB
• USB: 2x v2.0

Tested and works great! Works with White Russian and Kamikaze. Unfortunately, Asus has discontinued this product. When it was available it retailed for around $80.00. Asus has a version 2 out with downgraded processor and cheaper hardware.

update note 8/9/2010: This guide is for the Asus WL-500g Premium version 1 which has the Broadcom 4704 (Broadcom 4318). Asus rereleased the WL-500gP with a slower chip that is not yet supported.
