My understanding is that the new WRT54G V5.0, WRT54GS V5.0 and
WRT54GC are all running VxWorks. The only 'store bought' WRT
is the WRT54GL (I thought I might word that a bit differently).

The auction sites and a few refurb online stores still carry
the older routers. First check with the Openwrt.org site to
find out exactly what serial numbers correspond to which
routers. The WRT54GS V4.0 is the most prized as it has the
most memory (8M RAM, 32M flash). Although the WRTSL54GS with
the same RAM/flash also has a USB interface so you can mount
a disk (I have a WGT634U which has a similar feature).

The WRTSL54GS can still be purchased also.
