Ordinarily, I would post this in News, Breaking News but figured everyone wanting wireless for their Audrey might be interested. Geeks.com is clearing out the v2 model of the Motorola WR850G four-port 801.11g wireless router. Using the latest 6.14 "leaked" firmware, it functions perfectly as a wireless bridge for up to four devices simultaneously. It has a detachable antenna (a plus over the more recent v3 model!) and runs Linux internally.

Here's the router/AP/bridge:

Here's the 6.14 firmware:

Here's the BroadbandReports discussion thread:

Here's some more information about the router:

When you check out, enter discount code "SLICKDEALS" for an additonal 10% off (if it's still working...)
Select UPS Ground shipping and it's possible you may get free shipping and handling, too.
These deals were good Friday afternoon and Saturday, and may still be good Sunday afternoon.
(If not, the price is $27.50 and about $8 shipping.)
