Yeah, but the "standard" store-bought WRT54G (ver 6) is only 8mb.

No they don't .. they've been using VxWorks on those "standard" Linksys 
boxes for quite a while. They created the WRT54GL (Linux model) which 
was basically the same hardware as earlier generation WRT54G's. The 
reason they (Linksys) changed was to save a few bucks on hardware costs 
(and because they know the Linux tinkerers will pay the extra $20).
