The v1.1 was a WRT54GL. It's essentially the same at the WRT54G v.4, IIRC.

The firmware is tied to the particular hardware due to flash sizes and 
hardware. I think that you have to use the micro firmware to use it on the 
models with VxWorks loaded by default. [1] has some good info.

What types of security are you looking for?

Lots of stuff. A couple examples are static DHCP leases and built-in SNMP 
support.
