fosk.it! 2.0

This morning the long awaited v24 dd-wrt stable relase was.. relased.

Can’t wait to test it, web flashing on my spare Linksys WRT worked like a charm.

On the F*nera front, there’s the usual lack of (updated) information. That’s my conclusion, successfully tested on both 2100 and 2200 models:

I hope Brainslayer will put a readme on the download directory to make this clearer ^_^

When I started the subdle activity of reflashing foneras with third party firmwares there was a lack of information on the whole Internet about methods of doing this without the always valid RS-232 method.

Now there is an opposite problem: lots of website speaking about step1.html, kolofonium, CAMICIA build, hex.out and so on but infos are generally confusing cause referring to outdated or too complicated methods (and I’m sincerely too lazy to get them a try).

I recently got a Fonera 2200, the basic model currently sold on shop.fon.com and – incredibile dictu – in this model Redboot is enabled by default! OMG P0n1es!!!1

So to achieve a flash with DD-WRT (sucessfully tested also with OpenWRT Legend mod) starting from whatever version of the FON firmware present on the stock hardware, follow these step:
