[MLB-WIRELESS] Faulty WRT54GS?

It's a minor variation from the linksys 2.08 firmware.  I did it because the 
Bigpond cable login stuff  was buggy, so I hacked it a bit.

I did that firmware about a year ago,  It doesn't have a jfss partition and 
it was kind of pointless putting the temp host key in as a NVRAM variable.  
It only generates the host keys when the sshd is enabled or it does a power 
on boot so I can live with it, besides you should change that key periodicly 
anyway.

he he, if anyone wants to attack my router by trying to substitute keys they 
can have it :)
