I would like to say thanks for your work with "fon flash", excellent product, as is Gargoyle.
I'm assuming fon flash is aimed and beginner to intermediate users, with this in mind i think you could use a "file selection filter" or documentation of what file goes where. e,g
.gz
.lzma
.JFFS2-64k
I wan't 100% sure what whet where?
AP51 has a file selection filter
Second request
(I know this is a very long shot but I'll mention it anyway)
I think the Dir-300 is a good cheap router but needs adavnced skills to flash it to Gargoyle. I would be good if we had a script in "fon flash" to install a new redboot as per dd-wrt instructions.
ThanksWindows flashing instruction for the D-Link DIR-300 to DD-WRT (by Brainslayer, modified by Sash)
configure your local ip to 192.168.20.80
connect your lan cable to the WAN port of the router.
plugoff the power cord and replug it.
now enter the redboot using telnet and ip 192.168.20.81 and port 9000. connect your lan cable to the dir300 wan port.
you might need several tries since its only available for 1 second after aprox. 5 sec. of booting
(in the appendix is a windows instruction for easy connecting to redboot)
DIR-300 Info:
IP: 192.168.20.81/255.255.255.0, Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Default server: 192.168.20.80
now start a local tftp server on your computer and place ap61.ram as well as ap61.rom in the root dir of this server
back to the redboot enter:
load ap61.ram
go
now a new temporarily bootloader should start. (on serial console it will display some warning. but you dont need to care about)
lug you lan cable to the lan port of the dir-300.
reconfigure your ip to 192.168.1.2 and connect via telnet to 192.168.1.1 and port 9000.
important: while doing the following steps. never plugoff the lan cable or the power cord

reset
now the unit will reboot and the new bootloader will be executed and is waiting for your connection.
this wil take 30+ sec.
connect to the bootloader with telnet on port 9000 and ip 192.168.1.1
now do the following: (consider that fis create operations are taking sometimes several minutes to finish)
load -r -b 0x80041000 linux.bin
fis create linux
fconfig boot_script true
fconfig boot_script_timeout 4
now type fconfig again and configure the bootscript to
fis load -l linux
exec
now type reset again. the unit should now boot dd-wrt and work as known from other atheros based platforms

download putty.exe to c:\
create a file an c:\ called redboot.bat with the following content:
rem echo off
:start

putty.exe telnet://192.168.20.81:9000 -m redboot.txt
exit
create a file on c:\ called redboot.txt with the following content:

start the bat file and power on the router.....here comes redboot
(I probably should learn some programming skills)
