hey guys,

using http://wiki.cuwin.net/index.php?title=Flashing_the_La_Fonera_with_OpenWRT as a tutorial, I was able to flash my rusty fonera 2100 (v0.7.1 r3) to use openwrt, but didn't made any settings. a friend of mine told me I should rather use dd-wrt...okay, newbie as I am, I just flashed the openwrt-ar531x-2.4-vmlinux-CAMICIA.lzma over again to get into RedBoot (I know, epic fail Embarassed) now my fonera is not responding anymore, I know the IP (192.168.1.255) but I can't connect over ssh or telnet Sad
is there a way I can save my fonera and flash dd-wrt or is this piece of hardware gone? :(

thanks

Bad recommendation from my perspective Twisted Evil

Try to access RedBoot via serial connection.

thanks for your replies!

fonflash is not working, as I already set the password for openwrt back then, so telnet is disabled Sad
guess I have to go the serial connection way, although I have to get a cable Confused

thanks anyway

Err, OpenWrt telnet has nothing to do with RedBoot telnet, port 9000 at all.

Most likely this is why you have issues now. Patching RedBoot for Ethernet access is required only once, not prior every flash. Try serial!
