Installation
When preinit starts, SES light turns green. If you are holding the SES button, or at least press it quickly as soon as light turns green, then failsafe should start. Failsafe is indicated by orange light. Then you may telnet to 192.168.1.1 with a PC connected to a LAN port.
From official firmware
You should be able to simply install this from the Update Firmware page in the Web interface! :)
packages
started a package repo of our own. we need _at least_ our own kernel modules right? try this in /etc/opkg.conf:
src/gz adm8668 http://wrt.scottn.us/packages src/gz snapshots http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/brcm47xx/packages dest root / dest ram /tmp lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists option overlay_root /overlay arch all 5 arch brcm47xx 10 arch adm8668 20
upgrade from backfire
Since I never edited sysupgrade correctly in old version, I did this craziness to upgrade from the backfire build to these builds:
