Hello Gary,
I assume you mean WRT54GS ;).
According to
<http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/What_is_DD-WRT%3F#Supported_Devices
>,
the dd-wrt open firmware supports some versions of your router. If you cannot make your Linux dhcp client work, you might try changing the firmware on your router to support Linux.
If you want to change routers and you are interested in the Linux open firmware, then
<http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/What_is_DD-WRT%3F#Recommended_Devices>
has some good suggestions.

Do you know the details of this? You could just patch the dhcp client to
generate the broken requests.
