IPsec traffic through Linksys home router

Let's be clear hear.  ESP works fine, NAT breaks AH.  An IPSec VPN could
be either or both.  We have it working with NS5's and the Linksys.

AFAIK, IPSec does not yet work through a LinkSys router.  They expect to

have it working RSN (real soon now)... 

There is a lot of great information on IPSec and NAT firewalls (and why 
IPSec can't work through a NAT - but a "broken" version of it can) in
the 
archives.  Also feel free to look at www.freeswan.org
