I've got an old Linksys wrt54g v1.1. After a flash try the router seems bricked. No IP seems to be assigned to the LAN ports. The Wifi seems to send with a hidden essid.
Several trials loading the firmware (whiterussian rc6) using stftp seems to load the firmware, but it does not write it to the eeprom. A reboot (power off/on) after 30 minutes waiting does not change anything. The LEDs are looking ok and signal the correct data, i.e LAN LED goes on when connecting the port to a PC.
Due this router does not have a serial port (please drive me wrong otherwise) i try to use the jtag connection. So far i have connected the router to the parallel port of linux host using a passive version a self made jtag cable.
Next i compiled the HairyDairyMaid debrick utility (v 4.8). But a test with
./wrt54g -backup:cfe
only displays
