I have this exactly same problem with my recently bought WRT54G.
It has made it a useless piece of equipment.
Did you find any solution to the problem?
TIA

Yea same problem here too ;\

Tried flashing from a Sveasoft firmware back to official, and it died. Tried using the reset button in a manner of ways, shorted pints 15-16 while power-on. Setting the mac (arp -s $MAC) didn't help, the router doesn't respond at all. Sucks.

SVEASOFT huh? I would go ask them for help or at least get your money back from them for destroying your router.

hi all....don't give up yet, there is another method to recover your bricked wrt54gs.
i have not been in your situation yet, but i found a thread on the linksysinfo.org site about using the jtag interface to recover the router when the other methods fail.
