If this is true, the short answer is: You got the wrong box.
No, if he's got a WRT54GS he can load the dd-wrt firmware on it and use it
as a client just fine. I know, that's exactly what I've got in my boat.

Yes, noticed he had the GS version (though I understand there is now
workarounds for almost all version of the WRT54G, even the latest
one). But I think for most people purchasing a device already
configures for use as a Wireless Client is more straight forward then
reflashing. In any case, he will need to get two boxes, right? But
you are right, he could purchase either another WRT54GS and re-flash
the open firmware, or just purchase a Wireless Client.

I think you need to have the version 4.x or earlier WRT-54 models to re
flash the firmware and one of the third party firmwares. The newest
version 5.0 and up models have less RAM and flash memory and can't
support the linux based re flashes. More details he
