I have an Alix 2D2 board with Gargoyle 1.5.5. I try to restore default config using the web UI and my settings are always kept. I also tried to re-install the image without the "preserve settings" option enabled: no success.
So how can I reset to factory the device, without having to re-flash my CF?

Re: Alix - Restore default configuration doesn't work
Telnet into your Alix
Type this command:
firstboot
Then let the router reboot and see if it resets to defaults
If it does not - re-flash the firmware
