Use the sysupgrade file - but I have not had success flashing it
from the Gargoyle GUI - I flash the sysupgrade via command line.

Putty into the router and do the following:

login with user root and your password

"cd /tmp"

"wget firmware.file" (from openwrt or host your own browser)

OR - you can WinSCP into the router and copy the sysupgrade.bin
firmware file into the /tmp folder

Then do:

"sysupgrade -n -v sysupgrade.bin"

And wait for your router to flash and reboot

The -n resets the config and -v is verbose output

USE -n when flashing from Gargoyle to OpenWRT!

Thanks, and where can I find list of all available commands when using Gargoyle's CLI ?

The 'help' command does not list all available commands.

Thanks in advance.

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/user.beginner.cli

See that page

Gargoyle is OpenWRT underneath

All the OpenWRT commands work via the command line
