If once I install openWRT, is there anyway of going back?
I have a WRT54g V2, and would like to know before I start.
I looked at the wiki pages and did a search in the discussion board but found nothing.
Thanks

Never mind I found the post
yes if you have boot_wait=on
then flash with stock firmware WRT54GV3.0_3.03.6_US_code.bin (this is only for version 3)

Not true, WRT54GV3.0_3.03.6_US_code.bin can be used and I am using it on a WRT54g v2 with no problems.
As for going back to the Linksys firmware I found this

The linksys firmwares can be too large for the tftp server to handle at boot_wait;
it's eaiser to log into openwrt, wget the binary into /tmp,
remove the first 32 bytes of the bin to make a trx file
(# dd if=firmware.bin of=firmware.trx bs=32 skip=1)
and then write that directly to flash
(# mtd -r write firmware.trx linux).
This was very easy to do.
**********My routers are Hardware Version 3.0************
its True for me, I had Openwrt then I
reload WRT54GV3.0_3.03.6_US_code.bin
how I load my linksys bin:
already had boot_wait=on (was using Openwrt)
from my XP Pc tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put WRT54GV3.0_3.03.6_US_code.bin
reflash with HyperWRT_2.1b1_G.bin (Linksys code 3.03.6 US)
now I can telnet to WRT
so hold reset button for 5-7 sec. everything to factory Defaults
now time to telnet and re_check boot_wait flag
THIS IS NEW*** reflash with HyperWRT_2.1b1_G.bin (Firmware Version: v3.03.9 US - HyperWRT 2.1b1) latest Linksys Code :- here is the link to new firmware http://www.hyperwrt.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=274
on my pc rename HyperWRT-2.1b1-3.03.9.bin.gz to HyperWRT-2.1b1-3.03.9.bin
you may hit reset button again , with this new firmware boot_wait=on default cool
now my setup is WPA-PSK-WDS-AES, (did a test trasfer 500GB upload / download ) no clicks, no reboot, no timeout issue overclock to 216MHz, wl txpwer 67% (53 mw) here I am not trying to say how sexy my setup is, but if someone want Quick seup their network with WPA-AES-WDS then... do so 
very fast and stable too
here is the Link to WPA-PSK-AES-WDS setup http://www.hyperwrt.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=870
