Yup, there is that fine piece written by ESR, but the Revision
History states, "This HOWTO gives hints and tips for managing Linksys
routers from a Linux system, including the firmware upgrade
procedure," and even the "Modding and reverse engineering" section
mentions nothing about the BEFSR41 running linux.
Now don't get me wrong, as an owner of one of these (a v.2 revision
1.1), I'd love it if it were possible. It hasn't been done yet. I've
searched high and low. I'd love to be proven wrong.
My chief issue, however, is that since the mailinglist archives are
googleable, that this will get someone excited about something that
may not even be logistically possible. Maybe it is possible; maybe
what is needed is someone to google it, read this message and say, "I
wonder if I can pull it off..."
