Did you completely finish step 2 of the procedure?
Or did you also do part of step 3?
Because around the middle of step 3, you will lose wireless.
You HAVE to connect wired to finish up some of these steps.
You should just use a normal cat-5 cable, you won't have to use
a crossover cable to connect wired to the Fonera.

I had been working through the Cat5 cable the entire time. The last step I did before rebooting was the MTD step in step 2. I know that I did not move on to step 3. It appears as if the device simply won't boot all the way and I cannot SSH or Telnet into it to do anything.
Any ideas?

While you're booting the Fon, do a ping test.
Start pinging the 192.168.1.1 before you plug in the FON
Plug it in, and then see if there is any response to ping.
The steps you did should not have messed with redboot at all.
All they did was change the kernel.
Is there some other PC you can try this on?

Do you happen to have Windows Messenger or a hotmail account?
If so, load up messenger, and PM me, I'll send you my contact info.
Rather than going back/forth with this, it'd be much easier to try
and help you through this interactively.
I'm USA west coast, GMT-8 timezone, but I work graveyards so am
also available other times as well.
