Program from 0x80ff0000-0x81000000 at 0xa83e0000: . reset 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
