> 40+ Linksys WRT54GLs (flashed with DD-WRT)
You sir, are awesome. These beasts are so cheap and easy, and I've only seen
one fail after supporting maybe a dozen for six years (so that's $60 to
replace one in 72 years of operation). I'm actually surprised more places
aren't just modifying off-the-shelf stuff like this.
Make sure to at least try the pre-released binaries, I've found them to be
much better than the old 'stable' releases:
ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2011/
I think that for a multi-AP deployment in a school or business I would
probably opt for OpenWRT, but that's just me. DD-WRT's semi-closed top-down
development model and issues they've had with the open source community
scare me a bit.
