Finally…

After a long time of struggle, and a lot of luck, I finally managed to beat Guitar Hero 3 at the Medium level :-p I really wonder what kind of brain has the people who beat hard or even expert…

OpenWRT mysteriously crap out my WRTSL54GS router some how.  Wifi works perfectly, but the wired network stopped getting IP addresses.  I haven’t touched the configuration for a few days and it has been working too.  So I really don’t get it.  Restarting the server, restarting the interfaces including the bridge between eth0 and eth2 didn’t do  it either.  Also checked the dnsmasq config on X-Wrt’s page, couldn’t see any problem (haven’t really done any change to it either…)  and I tried to set a static IP address for the wired machine but that didn’t cut it either.  So I did something stupid, and updated the firmware over wireless (considered only Wifi connected hosts works.)  That completely messes up and Wifi is not working either.

Completely bewildered, I then hold down to the factory reset button in desperation for 30 sec.   That did it.  Everything went back to Linksys’s default settings (with their firmware too) and my home network is back to happiness.  Weird, weird day.
