I have flash WRT54GL with svn version of Kamikaze, and after this it not boot. Power indicator is blinking, and DMZ is switched off. I try to flash router with kamikaze 7.07 via tftp.

echo -e "binary\nrexmt 1\ntimeout 60\ntrace\nput openwrt-wrt54g-2.4-squashfs.bin\n" | tftp 192.168.1.1

But it show error: "Transfer timed out."
I noticed a strange thing in tcpdump log. In seems that router cat't arp resolve ip of my computer. Here the log:

Any ideas how to reflash it without JTAG?

P.S.
Sorry for my english.

I had the exact same problem. How I fixed it was:

1) nvram set boot_wait=on
2) nvram commit
3) mtd -r erase linux

I was then able to TFTP an image (Thibor, to be exact) using a hardwired laptop and TFTP.

Hm... But how can I do that, if OpenWrt isn't loading? And I can't enter the failsafe mode.
