You need our latest mtd binary on your device. If you updating from another Distribution, use our static version of mtd: http://www.freewrt.org/downloads/tools/mtd-static Download it to /tmp, add the execute bit, and try to install as usual. Netgear is very special, the bootloader (CFE) is bigger than the bootloader on Linksys/Asus devices and has some more features. For example you can boot completely from the network via TFTP/NFS. This is sometimes useful if you manage to get crap on your flash and need to reinstall via mtd. The bootloader does not use the TRX format, but ELF. Therefore I added support to mtd, to recognize the ELF header in the normal FreeWRT bin file and convert the BIN to something which can be flashed. If this works for you, may be you could send me some additions to our FreeWRT handbook describing updating from other distributions? http://www.freewrt.org/docs/1.0/handbook/html-single/index.html thanks Waldemar _______________________________________________ freewrt-users mailing list freewrt-users@freewrt.org https://www.freewrt.org/lists/listinfo/freewrt-users
