Ok so i read the countless threads and wiki's etc.. and i flashed the router. my problem is that when i boot it it either doesnt load the kernel right or something else is doing something (kinda new to linux on embeded systems) and well it doesnt even echoe back any of the text i type either. it just displays a bunch of jarbled crap

and after that it just keeps outputting crap like the last line, i have no idea whats going on and i hear that alot of you have gotten dd-wrt running on your so maybe someone here had the same problem and fixed it
Also i have tried flashing every firmware under the DL's section thats made for the La Fonera and the sme thing happens every time. so right now i am running the origional firmware on it so that it atleast works.
i did, it does it in telnet too, when i turn it up it doesnt show anything
Code:
blah blah blah

(i then change the baud to 115200)
(connect)
help
okokok, nvm that jazz up there, i was able to get something out of it, but its kinda frozen or something
i was able to time the boot to switch baud before it changes, and its stuck on some kernel init thing

its been sitting there foir like 5 min, noting
but to answer your question wikking, This is not my first time reflashing it and i think its the whole thing, i flash the root filesystem and the kernel as well as config the nvram.
Ok i read like 5 pages, and nothing really helped, it seems to be a problem with the router because the terminal worked fine with the fon firmware
i have no idea but i got a feeling that its the router becasue the "wireless" light turns on when it reach's the "frozen" point
