Do companies make linux based wifi routers or ADSL modems? If yes, what are these companies?

Are you asking what companies makes "open" Linux routers (easy to hack), or are you asking how popular Linux is amongst the router makers?– JohanCommented Aug 18, 2009 at 11:49

First option: I'm interested in open, customizable routers with open linux distributions.– Valentin VCommented Aug 18, 2009 at 12:58

buy one of these: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices Put this on it: http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/community/developmentnews.html
This will give you a linux router. :)
The OpenWRT project has a hardware compatibility list. If it's in there, then linux can at least be installed on it, but most (all?) of them run some version of linux pre-installed. See http://oldwiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware.html
Actually, most companies use some sort of Linux for their routers. I know for sure DLink have linux on my DSL-604GT+.
