===== tftp/reflash firmware =====

The basic procedure of using a tftp client to upload a new firmware to your router:

  - unplug the power to your router
  - start your tftp client
  - give it the router's address (usually 192.168.1.1)
  - set mode to octet/binary
  - tell the client to resend the file, until it succeeds.
  - put the file
  - plug your router, while having the tftp client running and constantly probing for a connection
  - the tftp client will receive an ack from the bootloader and starts sending the firmware

**Please be patient, the reflashing occurs AFTER the firmware has been transferred. DO NOT unplug the router, it will automatically reboot into the new firmware.**

  * Linux tftp steps: <code>bash-prompt$ tftp 192.168.1.1
tftp> binary
tftp> rexmt 1
tftp> timeout 60
tftp> trace
Packet tracing on.
tftp> put openwrt-xxx-x.x-xxx.bin</code>
