2 problem: i reflash my router but! after i upload .trx file and try to login using telnet - i cant! device bot reachable sad

1 question: i set the nvram parameter wait_boot=on what does it mean? where i can read about nvram params  for WL700ge?
2 question: after i installed the openwrt fw what actions on my "reset" and "ezbuttons"?

Any advice!? Somebody?!

1. Kamikaze does NOT use NVRAM anymore.
2. Later this week I get a ASUS WL-700g Encore. Then I can play a bit with it smile

anymore.... mmm... but what about 7.07 build?

Kamikaze releases never used the nvram config. Flat files are better anyway smile

Thats great! but what about boot_wait nvram param smile?

Some variables like boot_wait are used by the boot loader (as well as processor frequency etc...).
They're not used by Linux when it boots, but really by the boot loader, so they still need to be there and are still honoured.
I was only talking about the OS configuration.
