Also, I did all the operations over a wired network rather than wireless. There is no way I'd trust wireless for something like this! One last thing, the redboot script referenced is giving a 404, this one worked for me: http://download.berlin.freifunk.net/fonera/redboot.pl In case anyone is looking for it, the default username and password for both ssh access and for the web interface is:
user: root
password: admin

http://root:admin@192.168.10.1

To those who follow: Keep in mind that it really does take a long time (around 20 minuites) to for Redboot to complete one of the 'fis create' operations, and there is no feedback of any sort during that time. Also, I had to use the method outlined in the message by 'NoRouter' dt. Jan 26th, 2008 at 7:49 pm at http://uselesshacks.com/?p=23 in order to roll back the 0.7.2 r3 firmware to 0.7.1 before I could do anything else. (That process also required patience... I only got it to work on the 3rd or 4th reboot.) It worked.

There’s several places where someone might fall through the cracks if they’re not using a very similar configuration to mine, or simply aren’t reading my mind.
