I've run into issues with interface negotiation timing with buffalo routers in the past using bootloader tftp method.
Try putting a dumb switch between your client and the router to be flashed. Another router will even work (depending on configurations, managed switches do not always work) This way your client doesn't have to negotiate speed during the time between the ifup and the tftp server timeout. May not be the issue, but just something that has been seen before. Hth c On Saturday, May 2, 2015, Brian J.
