When the GUI is not working for you, you could also manage it with your favorite Telnet client and a TFTP programm:
what you need:
-openwrt-atheros-2.6-root.squashfs
-openwrt-atheros-2.6-vmlinux.lzma
-a telnet client
-a tftp server ( on windows i use tftp32, for mac search on google for "TftpServer" )
!!!Do Step 1 to 10 like in Darren´s TuT!!!
!!!you do it on your own risk, i´m not responsible if you brick your fonera!!!
1. you have to set static ip adresses:
2. open your telnet client and type in the ip adress 192.168.1.254 with port 9000 but do not hit enter.
3. power on LaFonera and after 2 to 4 secs start the Telnet connection.
(on OS X and Linux you have to set Telnet to line mode, just create a file ".telnetrc" in home dir with the following lines:
192.168.1.254
mode line
)
4. Telnet comes up with the RedBoot Promt
5. now open your tftp server and make shure it is set to the right folder and the right ip adress.
6. type in the following commands in the telnet client one by one... some of them need realy long to be executed, just wait for the "RedBoot>" after each command
(when you type in the "fis init" command you also need to press "y" to execute the command)
ip_address -l 192.168.1.254/24 -h 192.168.1.166
fis init
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-2.6-vmlinux.lzma
fis create -e 0x80041000 -r 0x80041000 vmlinux.bin.l7
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} openwrt-atheros-2.6-root.squashfs
fis create -l 0x6F0000 rootfs
fis load -l vmlinux.bin.l7
exec
after the fonera is rebooted you can go on with step 12 in Darren´s tut
