Ditto -- my Actiontec modem works great in bridged mode with my WRT54g
(dd-wrt) doing the authentication.  No complaints, solid as a rock (my
experience).  My dad and brother also have this same setup at their
homes with no complaints either.

Using the Actiontec as your router, though, sucks with Linux (dns
issues), so if you don't have a separate machine to handle your routing,
get a different modem.
