Called
Tomato, it is the name of a
firmware
for wireless routers, including the popular WRT54G family. Tomato is designed to
be flashed onto your compatible
wireless
router to replace the stock firmware loaded by the
vendor.
Like DD-WRT, the Tomato firmware can be installed on a
variety of wireless routers. Tomato supports the Linksys WRT54G family, which
also includes the WRT54GS, WRT54GL and WRTSL54GS. Note that Tomato will not work
with WRT54G routers later than version 4, since these do not run
Linux.
Unlike DD-WRT, which is available in numerous versions for different routers and
with different feature sets, there is only one primary version of Tomato. There
is also one alternate version compiled specifically for the Buffalo WHR-G125
router. [Source: Adapted from
