What I experienced on my WRT54GL from the brcm47xx/legacy target:
The _upgrade_ file 'standard-squashfs' [1] seems to be missing the b43 driver,
therefore no wifi when using this file. Here's the list of packages which come
preinstalled with that trx file in [1]:

Further, when using the 'factory' image in [2] (for the WRT54GL), it seems
that the image is too big right now for tftp flashing. The CFE first accepts
the image via TFTP, starts flashing and after a while stops with an 'Unknown error'.
