As Mike said:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G

Now, the wrt54G has always been 16/4 until the switch to VXworks w/ v5

The wrt54GS was 32/8 until it went 16/4 with v4.0 and 16/2 with v5 and
VXworks.

If you want to buy a new, linux version, the wrt54GL still runs linux
(that's the L) and is 16/4 like the wrt54G v4

So, the bad news is that they switched to VXworks and the RAM/Flash
reduction outweighed the licensing costs.  However, people were buying
enough of them because they could modify the linux firmware to justify a
continued linux version.
