Is there anybody that have flashed the Fonera router with a standard OpenWrt firmware?

Bye, Fabio

it's not that difficult to search... work in progress... cool

1 - Download the file http://rapidshare.com/files/9240866/ope … .lzma.html on your on PC e move it on your Fonera /tmp folder
2 - Run "mtd -e vmlinux.bin.l7 write openwrt-ar531x-2.4-vmlinux-CAMICIA.lzma vmlinux.bin.l7"
enables write of redbootconf via kernel hack
3 - Restart the router. If everything went OK, it should work as usual.
4 - Connect with SSH e move file ( http://rapidshare.com/files/9116527/out.hex.html ) on your /tmp
5 - Run: mtd -e "RedBoot config" write out.hex "RedBoot config"
6 - Reboot.

after that, telnet on port 9000 on ip 192.168.1.254 is open for 10 sec from redboot. now, flash, whatever u want without serial device!
change ipsetup by cmd fconfig to your network, timeout...

flash openwrt by:
load -r -v -b 0x80040450 openwrt-atheros-2.6-root.jffs2-64k
fis create -b 0x80040450 -f 0xA8030000 -l 0x00700000 -e 0x00000000 rootfs
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-2.6-vmlinux.lzma
fis create -r 0x80041000 -e 0x80041000 vmlinux.bin.l7
fis load -l vmlinux.bin.l7
exec

btw all I have done is host these files, I have not tested them or sanction them. best method is as always to use serial smile

The discussion might have continued from here.
