Tomato is a partially free HyperWRT-based, Linux core firmware distribution for a range of Broadcom chipset based wireless routers, most notably the older Linksys WRT54G series, Buffalo AirStation, Asus routers and Netgear WNR3500L. Among other notable features is the user interface, which makes heavy use of Ajax as well as an SVG-based graphical bandwidth monitor.
Tomato was originally released by Jonathan Zarate in 2008, building on the code of HyperWRT, and made available on his website polarcloud.com. Since the last release from the original developer in June 2010, continued development happens through several community-maintained mods. Fedor Kozhevnikov created a notable early fork, called TomatoUSB, which ceased development in November 2010. It was then forked by other developers with projects such as Tomato by Shibby becoming popular.
The Tomato by Shibby project contains a list of supported routers.
AdvancedTomato's project website also contains a list of supported routers
