Upgrading from 1.1.3 on WRT54Gv2

Hi:
A while ago, I installed Gargoyle 1.1.3 on my WRT54Gv2, which works as a wireless bridge. It works amazingly well, so well in fact that I forgot all about it.
I just realised that I'm several versions behind, but can't figure how to upgrade. "opkg install gargoyle" results in
Code: Select all
Upgrading gargoyle on root from 1.1.3-6 to 1.2.0-6...
Collected errors:
* Only have 868 available blocks on filesystem /, pkg gargoyle needs 884
Any suggestions?

Download the latest Broadcom image and re-flash.
Your router only has 4MB of flash, and if you've put anything
else on it or have some large configs, you're out of space.
Besides which, the newer versions have a LOT more data in the
config files, so you would want to re-enter everything in from
scratch, not use an old config file.
Depending how odd your config is, you will need to decide if
you want to do all that work to upgrade.
Fresh flash of a full image is your only option I think, but I
may be wrong on that, I've never upgraded through packages.

Would that be gargoyle_1.3.1-wrt54g-squashfs.bin? And can I do this through the Gargoyle web interface itself?
Sorry, I can't find any documentation on upgrading.

Yes, you can use the web interface itself. Just head on to the web interface. It's under System > Update firmware. Instructions are also given on that page itself.
You just went ahead, set up the router as a wireless bridge and never checked all the other nifty features?
