I just got two WRT54GLs and started installing the firmware. Apparently, somewhere along the way the second one got corrupted and will no longer connect to the workstation. Here's what happened:

1) I installed the firmware according to instructions and all went well with node "alpha". It is working fine. 

2) I did the same thing with "beta" and it was working fine. I figured out how to log into it using ssh after having uploaded an SSH key file and was logged in using SSH from the workstation. When I went back to the admin webpage however, the webpage had gone back to "NOCALL", so I sighed and figured I just needed to re-run the setup. I got an error message when I tried to save my callsign "error - unable to save config data"  or some such. A few more tries and I decided to try a hard reset - press the reset button for 30 seconds. Now, I get nothing - the node will not connect with the workstation. 

3) I tried using wireshark to watch the ethernet traffic. I can see the node ("cisco-...") trying to do an ARP but nothing further. 

I guess I need to reload the firmware. Any ideas or are there instructions somewhere as to how to do this without a network connection?

When powered on now, the power led flashes continuously and the DMZ led comes on for ten seconds then goes off for ten seconds.
