Re: WL-520gU openWRT failsafe mode?

I fixed my problem, however I am still not able to get 'failsafe' mode to work. In my case I simply connected my WL-520gU to my wired home network. My (real) router (in the basement) gave it an IP. I was able to look at the host tables on the router and figure out what IP it went to. I then telnet'e...

I sure would feel a lot more comfortable flashing if I had a cable. Having access to the serial port undoubtedly helps in other cases too, like when you fubar your 'net config and suddenly can't ping/telnet/ssh to the device. Maybe you something really dumb like mistakenly take the CPU's switch port...

I got a little too cocky and changed all the configs at once, then threw the /etc/init.d/network restart switch. Now my router seems deaf! I cannot...

Re: flashing with out ftdi cable

I was way too impatient to wait for my FTDI cable to arrive. Figured I'd take a swing at flashing my Asus blind..

Re: Suggested Mac OSX dev tools

Good stuff! Thanks. I am a software dev by trade; mostly for windows, but fairly harmful on linux these days as well. Fortunately I have a (linux) fileserver in the basement that can do my dirty work. I'll just look to the mac to do the device interfacing. I will check out those tools you pointed ou...
