I have one of these routers and was wondering if this router would ever be supported by dd-wrt
Here are the specs I was able find by pulling it open.

Wireless chipset:
Ralink rt2880f

Memory
16mb ram (2xchips: PCS a2v64s40ctp)

IC+ 5port switch
Model: IP175c LF

Flash Memory
Macroix: mx29vl160cbtc 70g
3v 16Mb (2mb) flash memory

FCC ID: k7sf5d8236a
IC: 3623a-f5d8236a

This router is currently available for $60. This is a deal at Staples. I found this on dealmac.com.

I would say that $60 is a fair price. I paid $59.00 for mine @ Wal-mart as their everyday price.

If you read the post on the following link: http://dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=38645&highlight=edimax+br6204wg

Brainslayser says:
"the buffalo whr-g300n uses the Ralink R3052 chipset which is compatible to the 2880 almost. the ra2880 uses a external switch and has a minipci slot unlike the r3052. i may decide to support more ralink based routers in future, but consider too that the ralink Wireless chipset are everything else than good."

so this topic is a couple of months old. I've used DD in the past on my WRT, but that is pretty much a brick now. Wont even flash or hold a config.

I would love to use it again. I just got this router 3 weeks ago.

Any plans to support it?

now we have gerneral Ralink support

but no support for 2mb flash units

"Because of the fact this router only owns 2MB of flash memory, which is not enough for ralink based devices, this router will never be supported by dd-wrt.

Here is a site that will allow you to select and compare various brands and models.

Belkin support

I also use AC 1800 DB Wi-Fi Dual-Band AC+ Gigabit Router and am very pleased with its features and performance.

One feature that really is helpful to those of us with data caps is its ability to track data usage per device.
