Good question Todd...  don't let people make sweeping comments which are not
backed up...

I have a LinkSys BEFSR41 (4port/1wan) which works quite well; never a problem. 
The other day, I upgraded the firmware.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that
unlike most TFTP upgradable boxes, this one can be uploaded via a TFTP client
"put" rather than needing to install a TFTP server.  BTW, the upgrade did not
require me to touch the box physically, so it's great if you need to locate it
remotely and still maintain its s/w.

The latest software now has the ability to log all connections/attempts (see
who's knocking at the door) to a log server (as well as maintain a short
internal list).  For details on setting up your Linux box to accept these log
entries, visit my site at http://pfortin.com/Linux/LinkSys/

HTH,
Pierre

PS:  I finally retired my Cisco router which used to be my firewall when I got
the LinkSys (small, quiet, fast and reliable).
