[MLB-WIRELESS] Linksys WRT54G

[Dan Flett]

According to the Seattle Wireless WRT54G site, the Switch is an Admtek
ADM6996.  Their link to it is broken but I think I found it:

http://www.admtek.com.tw/product-htm/Switch/adm6996l.htm

Don't have time right now to download and read the PDF though...

Here's a link that explains that the WRT54G does indeed use VLANs
