starting from this version webflashing will be possible for future upgrades. for web flashing use the fonera-firmware.bin to upgrade a already 
installed dd-wrt from web. consider that this file will not work with versions earlier than 2006-0107.




1.
mount a serial adapter to the fonera device
(the serial adapter documentation can be found at http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Hardware/Fon/Fonera)

2.
set your terminal client to 9600-8-N-1 

3.
enter the RedBoot console by pressing CTRL+C

4.
copy root.fs and vmlinux.bin.l7 to your tftp server directory

5.
configure the RedBoot bootloader IP and TFTP server settings using
ip_address -l [local ip address] -h [remote server address]

6.
flash the unit by entering the following commands

RedBoot> fis init
About to initialize [format] FLASH image system - continue (y/n)? y

if everything went well it should look like this:



notes:

this short and dirty fonera port was done in less than 8 hours and is far from complete.
since i dont like slow serial terminals the kernel will startup with a baudrate of 115200. so don't be afraid if you see no message after the bootloader.
just change your terminal settings to 115200-8-N-1

from default the unit is configured to obtain its ip from a dhcp server. remote management is enabled per default on port 8080. so you can connect the unit 
on port 8080 as far you found out the ip.

if you switch the unit to client mode, this behaviour will change. the ethernet port will turn to a lan port with dhcp server enabled. so please take care of it
if you get into troubles
