Whiterussian 0.9 is the 'production' version.  "Development" is kamikaze
(which seems aptly named.)  To flash my linksys, I just downloaded the
appropriate .bin file and then used the web-based firmware updater to
upload the new firmware.     The safer way is to tftp it up to the
router, but that requires 'hacking' the system to enable boot wait (so
you can send a file to it as it boots and interrupt the normal boot
process.)    

I had my router running whiterussian in about 5 minutes, from start to
finish. It reconnected to my PPPoE ADSL connection immediately, and
another two minutes later I had my ports forwarded to my internal SSH
server.
