I did a search for HTML in NVRAM but found nothing. It's a bit of a haze, but here's sorta what happened...

I was struggling with getting my WRT54G V1.1 to work with a static IP address behind this silly Netopia router from SBC. The Netopia was configured fine and I was able to get any PC I wanted to wrork with a static IP. When I tried to configure my LinkSys box, it couldn't talk out the WAN side and I could ping its WAN interface from oter machines on that same side of the network.

I tried a bunch of stuff and didn't notice anything odd. Then I decided to re-flash using the web interface with the jffs and nvram boxes checked. I wanted a fresh start. Being a jackass, I also chose a different image - the wrt54g image from the pptp folder 'cause that's kinda what I wanted anyway...

The box came up fine. When I did an nvram show, the above output came up! I did a get on boot_date and wl0_ifname - and those settings individually came out with their respective apparently corrupted output.

So I did another web interface flash with the boxes checked - only this time I used the regular image instead of the pptp image. Same deal - EXACTLY.

I then issued "mtd -r erase nvram", rebooted, and saw sane looking nvram.

Enjoy.
