[SLUG] DD-WRT and its requirements

So you may have heard I have a new toy. This toy only has a hardwired
ethernet port and no slots and I can't run a cable to where it is (I guess I
COULD, but it'd be difficult), so I need some sort of ethernet <-> wifi
bridge. The easiest (with one part of "cheap" and one part "versatile") way
is to get a router and put DD-WRT on it configured to act as a bridge.

To that end, I've been looking at
http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices . In the listing for the
Actiontec MI424WR, under "WLAN standard" it says "ralink b/g (must be
replaced)". I want to use this router with an 802.11g signal. Can I do
this directly? There is another one of these routers in the house (supplied
by Verizon), and no hardware mods were performed here to enable the wireless
connection (but I have no idea what was done before it came here).
