I also tried pinging with a 0.1 interval, and I got about 20 replies, so, it works only for 1 to 3 seconds most. > > As I said, it's very timing sensitive, I had the ping (from the PC) running all the time, while I recycled the power on the router. > and it sounds like you didn't enable boot_wait. As far as I remember, I had enabled boot wait, unless it didn't work, because in this page http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt54g#serial.port it says: NOTE: On WRT54GL (at least), you should probably use 'wait_time' instead of 'boot_time'. But I don't remember which one I used. > > Try atftp, instead of regular tftp, wrapped in a while loop so it will > trying to tftp to the router every second like the ping. As I said the router in v1.1, and I noticed just now in page http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.flashing.tftp (a little above the troubleshooting section and BTW it should be moved in the troubleshooting section, because now it's in the Windows tftp section, and people may not see it) the following: "if you have a openwrt54gl (v1.1 testet) the timespan might be very short and is located about 2 seconds after pluging in and about 1 second before the ping starts to answer." > Also be sure you are pressing and holding the reset button long enough. OK, long enough until the DMZ starts flashing, right? _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
