 +Warning: If have some of those models, that belong to version 'CUR06', the 10.03 and 10.03.1 release of backfire WILL NOT work (kernel panic!), because of the newer u-Boot version (1.6.1). There were some changes of the memory layout. To get it working you must use the image from backfire trunk release by now!

 +Hint: The special "linksys-tftp" client that can be found in portage of Gentoo Linux seems not to work. Please use atftp if you're using Gentoo Linux or some other distribution that is based on portage:
 +
 +<code>
 +root@host ~ $ atftp
 +> mode octet
 +> connect 192.168.1.1 69
 +> put code.bin
 +</code>

 +===== unbricking via tftp =====
 +This step has helped me to unbrick the router http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.flashing.tftp#linuxbsd .
 +You can try something like this (from a GNU/Linux computer):
 +<code>
 +1. Turn off the power to the router and leave it off until the final step.
 +2. Make sure your computer has a static IP address from 192.168.1.x (eg. 192.168.1.4)
 +3. Make sure the ethernet cable is plugged into one of router's LAN ports and the other end into computer's ethernet port
 +3. cd to the folder where you have the image
 +4. change the name of the new firmware to code.bin , then type :
 +5. echo -e "binary\nrexmt 1\ntimeout 60\ntrace\nput code.bin\n" | tftp 192.168.1.1
 +6. plug the power into the router, it should flash.
