[SATLUG] Flashing DD WRT to WRT54G v5.0

[Borries Demeler]

I recently flashed mine with HyperWRT Thibor, though it is a v.3
I have been buying a few for friends lately from Ebay, where you still
can find the pre 5.0 versions that have more ram and are better for
flashing. I believe there is also a HyperWRT Thibor version for 5.0 and 6.0,
but I am not sure. The HyperWRT Thibor is great, flashed like a charm, 
and without any "unexpected" twists and turns. I like the static DHCP's it
offers and it has a long list of additional features over the original firmware.

> Bloppers: Didn't clone my MAC address (and as shown on the scorpiontek.org page), on the agenda for the next assault and failed to save vxware image (no big deal).
