Hi,

how do you connect to the network console you mentioned? I have a WR703N with your u-boot installed. Everything is up and running (openwrt installed).
As I am still waiting for my serial cable, I am wondering how can I connect to the network console via ethernet?

Thanks

I am sorry, my mistake. I thought your u-boot mod was installed on the box I got, but actually it was not. Now I have updated it and it's great. Both with precompiled and self-compiled image.

For anybody interested in connecting via ethernet terminal:

  1. Use netcat/nc to wait for connection:
    netcat -u -p 6666 -v 192.168.1.1 6666
    (On Linux it's nc, on OS X you can install netcat via homebrew)
  2. Turn on device and press button for 7-10 seconds
  3. Enter '?', hit return and enjoy
