Hi all,

due to some experiments, I now have two ASUS 500WLgP here that have a
faulty interfaces file. The devices are definitely okay, they are
accepting flashed images via tftp, and they behave normally... but are
not reachable by network because of the configuration problem.

Following the instructions on

 http://www.freewrt.org/trac/wiki/Documentation/Howto/Failsafe

I did

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ./failsafe
 Msg from 192.168.1.1: Press reset now, to enter Failsafe!
 Msg from 192.168.1.1: Entering Failsafe!

and then tried to telnet to 192.168.1.1 without the following result:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ telnet 192.168.1.1
 Trying 192.168.1.1...
 telnet: connect to address 192.168.1.1: Connection refused
 telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

A nmap scan of 192.168.1.1 shows the following:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nmap 192.168.1.1

 Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-12-21 19:25 CET
 All 1680 scanned ports on 192.168.1.1 are closed

 Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.657 seconds

So nothing except ping works. This looks like the failsafe mode is
defective or the documentation is wrong.

Is there *any other* way to execute a

 mtd erase fwcf

on the devices? Could you per chance provide an image that (when
flashed onto the devices) could do this job as an alternative resort
for when the failsafe mode fails?

Thanks for your help,

Regards,
Georg
