Doesn't surprise me in the lease bit. The WRT54G is a tiny computer (must like most electronics) with wifi, eth, and serial ports (the last being less accessible). Personally, I'm surprised that 54G's haven't been hacked into more devices. Just recently I installed OpenWRT onto of these and turned it into a hardware OpenVPN gateway to send off to a remote site. It was a piece of cake, took all of an hour to learn the system and set it up. Of course it helps that I'm a Debian junkie and OpenWRT seems to be debian-eque.
