Do you mean v24-SP1? The website shows v24-SP1 as being the latest
stable version, and v24-preSP2 as being the latest development
release.

Nope. I like running the bleeding edge firmware before I inflict
anything on my coffee shop customers. I switched to SP2 for the
multiple SSID feature.

Incidentally, if you go to the download database at:
<http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database>
inscribe "whr-hp-g54" into the search box, and then click on the first
item it finds, the recommended firmware version appears as:
v24 preSP2 [Beta] Build 13064

I guess my question was how are you running SP2 when it's not
available yet? Unless you're just having a bit of fun with me. :)

Exactly. No SP2 to be found anywhere, AFAICS. You just might be the
only person running it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "available". Pre-SP2 Beta versions have
been available for download since about a year ago. There have been
something like 10,000 builds. I was actively following the
development last summer, when it seemed that there was a new build
every day.

Would you settle for Pre SP2 Beta or do you only run "released"
software and firmware? There are some products available for general
consumption that seem to be in a state of permanent beta test hanging
on version 0.99999 seemingly forever. I had one company tell me that
they'll release 1.0 as soon as they get more funding. There's some
logic in that as users running Beta software assume all the
responsibility for any and all failures, while released software
magically is perceived to be the responsibility of the vendor.

Incidentally, the version I'm using is not perfect. I have to reboot
the router every 6 days or the PPTP VPN daemon simply dies for no
obvious reason. Much of the development seems to revolve around
cramming yet another feature into an already extremely small memory
space. The usual result is breaking some other feature or function.

By "available" I mean "exists", as in SP2 doesn't seem to exist yet.
All I see on the dd-wrt site are pre-SP2 builds, with 'pre' meaning
'before'. At some point it's reasonable to assume that one of those
builds will become 'SP2', but they aren't there yet.

Anyway, I think I simply took you too literally. I see (now) what you
meant when you said you were running SP2.
