[wplug] OpenWRT vs. DD-WRT vs. stock

[Michael H. Semcheski]

Its funny -- my experience with OpenWRT has been that it was also zero
administration once it was all setup.

But that's why I asked the question.  I'm interested in seeing how DD-WRT
looks.  It seems like many people on the list have tried and stuck with
DD-WRT, so I'll see how it works for me.

I'll probably end up using the micro version on a v5 WRT54G.
