I finally got on-site to retrieve the box which I tried to upgrade remotely from 0.6.1 to 0.6.2. The ethernet ports seem to have been knocked out. I see this during boot, just after the TDM410P messages:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device route: SIOCADDRT: No such device ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device route: SIOCADDRT: No such device After boot, ifconfig only gives me the loopback interface. Can anyone help me fix this?
