Thanks. I had suspicions that I messed up some units for that reason. I 
restored them all to factory and then reflashed with another firmware 
and used them elsewhere. I do know that at a site where I installed four 
units, one of the engineers excitedly talked to me about the nice 
features of the new firmware. This site experienced one of the partial 
resets to the factory SSID & security. So, I suspect he fiddled with all 
those nice new features. :-)

I have been very happy with the WRT54GL overall and use it for my 
preferred wireless router. I have a few dozen of them in use with only 
those few oddities. I don't use most of the features (who does), but the 
flexibility is what makes them valuable to me. This is, of course, the 
reason I use Linux in the first place - flexibility in solving our 
clients problems.
