I need to make another SSID, sort of a guest network that has WEP/WAP (not WAP2) security
I have a Linksys-G Wireless router

Any idea's?

That is a combo ADSL2 modem and router, so no dd-wrt is available for it and AFAIK it does not have a guest vLAN capability.

Your best bet to set up a guest wireless network is to buy a cheap wireless N router to configure as an AP, turn off the AP DHCP, connect it to the WAG54G2 LAN to LAN, use a different radio channel, SSID and whatever security you want on the AP, give the AP a static address that is in the network but outside the WAG54G2 DHCP assignable range (also setting the AP address in the WAG54G2 static table).
