[WLANware] Fonera Flash GUI

[Sven-Ola Tuecke]

Thanks to Dan, the Flasher now is able to flash Meraki Mini as well as the 
Foneras. To reflect this, I have renamed that thing into "ap51-flash" and 
placed it in a new directory located here:

@dan: You mentioned "someone is working on the 2-stage loader" for the 
Meraki. Fiddeling with Redboot scripts and additional partions may not safe 
much space in flash. What about attaching an lzma loader in front of the 
kernel, as it's done for the OpenWrt/Broadcom kernels? May relocate the 
kernel while uncompressing which may also free up the 256kb of RAM occupied 
by Redboot. Yes I know - plenty of RAM and Flash out there, but...

Hi all,

On a similar topic, I've just written an Expect script that flashes OpenWRT
to the Meraki.  It does pretty much the same thing at the Fonera Flash GUI.

Check out: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=9900&p=2

I much prefer the Fonera Flash GUI.  But I can't get it to work with a
Meraki.  It connects, and erases the flash, but it won't transfer the rootfs
file.  The Meraki wants to see the TFTP server on 192.168.84.9, but Fonera
Flash sets its own IP address to 192.168.84.0.

Also, the Meraki RedBoot does not support LZMA kernels, so we have to use a
GZ kernel.  I imagine it would be pretty simple to change the Fonera Flash
GUI to support the Meraki - I hope someone is able to do this.

Cheers,

Dan
