Not borked after all!

While doing some work on one of my WRT54-GL routers last night, I managed to bork OpenWRT: after a reboot, the power LED just kept flashing, and there was no response at its usual IP address. I could ping it on 192.168.1.1 (though, weirdly, I'd only get 3 reponses every 30 seconds or so), but neither telnet nor SSH was working.

Some folks suggested getting out the serial cable, or shorting pins on the flash chip, but a simple TFTP did the job.

Now to get OpenVPN going again, and this time without breaking the damn thing!
