-====== OpenWRT Backfire (10.03, r23044)  ======
+====== Preface, Warnings, don't try this at home ======
-Basic openwrt build. **DO NOT FLASH THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE SERIAL CABLE OR CAN LIVE WITHOUT WIFI** I have not yet built the wifi module, and I did not include a large enough mtd partition to revert back. Wait for this weekend please :)
+There is a problem that I have no one with serial console to assist with testing these firmwares before I post them. Thus, it is all at your **risk**. I do limited tested beforehand.

+I have looked at our bootloader, and it has no method to attempt a failsafe TFTP flash as Broadcom's does. The WRT54G I believe will load a TFTP image from bootloader if kernel is broke without intervention. Our current bootloader will not. If you attempt to start a TFTP transfer, it will try again and again and again indefinitely, thus it will never start the flashed image. I am trying to find solution to this, and the best I can think of now is replacing the bootloader. This is tricky as well and may produce a real brick requiring a JTAG which I don't have! :(

-it seems as my already built modules aren't working on this one... it's same kernel version, something must have changed with the openwrt patches that'll require a recompile. i hope that is all it takes :(
