Instead of purchasing the rather expensive (retail $99.99) Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless network adapter, you can make your own.  Using the La Fonera and DD-WRT, you can turn the La Fonera into a wireless adapter for your Xbox 360.  

The Fonera is a perfect solution for the lack of wireless capabilities on the Xbox 360.  With the presence of a USB port on the back of the Xbox 360 allows you to power the Fonera with the use of a USB power cable.

Basically, after being flashed with DD-WRT, the Fonera is put into client bridge mode.  This allows your Fonera to connect to your home wireless network and pass the data through its ethernet port to your Xbox 360.

Due to the troubles of the most recent Legend release, pre 4.5U, we have decided to host the original Legend Pre 4.5 firmware.  In particular, the biggest problem was the broken GUI as well as some other small issues.  To make things easier and prevent any headaches, some members of the community have decided to host the Legend Pre 4.5 firmware files since they are not available on the creator's website.  They can be found here:

DD-WRT v24 Final Firware Flash Guide

There are many new improvements to this firmware.  See the official release here .

Martin Varsavsky, entrepreneur and founder of Fon, has announced an upcoming Fonera 2.0.  This "will be an open platform for developers to build their applications on top of, much like a hacked iPhone is now."  Not only that, the Fonera 2.0 will include a USB port which infinitely expands its functionality.  Additionaly, the Fonera will be able to queue up tasks like transferring photos to Flickr, downloading torrents, transferring files from flash drive/hard drive over the network, etc.  You can look at the Fonera 2.0 to essentially be a mini-computer with a USB port that can perform most tasks a normal computer can, but it does not have any additional peripheral ports.
