First of all, i have disassembled the device to get to it's serial port. On PCB i've found a 4-pins header labeled JP2. Optical inspection followed by ohmometer use shown that it is RTL's serial port. Pin functions (from center to egde): +3.3Vcc, RxD (RTL's receiver), GND, TxD (RTL's transmitter). Then i connected an MAX232 level translator to those pins, using +3.3V as power (CAUTION: 232 from Ti did not work @ 3.3V), as proposed on mips-wiki pages. Parameters of transmission: 38400/8N1. BTW Edimax tech support for Europe refused to tell if that header is serial. 2). On username/pass prompt working configuration was super/@gogolinux - again from wiki. 3). Software instalation that comes from Edimax lacks nearly everything ;( no vi, not even ln. 4). Downloaded sources from Edimax Taiwanese site: http://www.edimax.com.tw/download/drivers/GPL/BR-6204WG_GNU.tgz a little 71.5MB package. ;) 4a). what lacks from that tarball: /web directory, *.sh scripts from /bin 4b). using default build instructions found in tarball leads to lack of webserver (webs), and two important other execs: /bin/setup and /bin/flash. The latter is, as i realize an interface to store/fetch variables from flash. The setup file SHOULD be in tarball: it is referenced in build chain, but is missing (whole directory AP/console). 4c). I launched build, then I copied missing files from working system and then blocked script in rtl-11g-GPL/AP/mkimg/app_11g_script to NOT regenerate top.11g directory. Then i ran build once again. 5). Flashed resulting bin file onto Edimax. 6). Boots OK, but have to manually start init.sh and webs& from serial console. 6a). Much more options in Busybox enabled. ex: vi, ln, etc. 7). For this moment i have returned back to original (downloaded 1.48) Edimax firmware. Tomorrow I'll upload photos and boot-progress files somewhere. W.P. PS, there is a lot in configuration of this system, that i do not understand clearly: ex: ifconfig shows: br0, br1 WITH ip-addresses, eth0, eth1, wlan0 WITHOUT ip.... I'll have to investigate config files/scripts.
