Today is my day off so I had a little time to piddle. After seeing a
couple of mods on the internet to put POE on a WRT54 I decided to

Way too complicated. What I've done several times when I couldn't get
AC power to the Linksys, I ran a "poor man's PoE" with splicing the
power leads in to and out of the CAT5 cable at both ends.

Yup, I ran an Actiontec router like that in my conservatory for some years.

Takes only five minutes and a few beenies (white telephones connectors),
but regular crimp connectors would work.

I did it with some insulating tape.... its only 5v.
