Linksys WRT54GL good enough for 100Mb?

I used to own a WRT54GL which I sold when I got a ADSL line.
I am now back on 100Mb cable with Virgin but they now supply a 'Super' hub which combines the Modem and Router. The Super Hub looks wonderful but it performs like a piece of crap (flaky wireless & temperamental WOL), even with the latest firmware.

Fortunately it has a 'modem only' mode so I can add a router. I was thinking of buying back an WRT54GL but I am not sure it will handle the 100Mb WAN to LAN that I regularly download at. Even running the CPU at 250Mhz like I used to.

I am not that bothered about Wifi speeds. I just need something that does WOL reliably (which the Superhub doesn't or I would persevere with it) and can handle 100Mb WAN to LAN without being a bottleneck.

If the WRT54GL can't cut it are there any recommendations for something that's good value for money that will?

Managed to get one from a kind soul from the MM. I will report back once I've tried out DD-Wrt and Tomato.

Well I managed to pick up a WRT54GL from a kind gentleman in the MM to play around with. I put on the latest Tomato (Toastman) firmware and my preliminary tests show that it can sustain about 45 mbps WAN-LAN which pretty much max's out the CPU running at 250Mhz.
