Thanks for the information, I might try that.

Something interesting though, the last flash I did to that router (a 
couple of days ago perhaps), seems to have changed the behaviour of 
it. The LED now blinks orange for a while. The LED goes:

<power ON>
Solid Orange
<1s>
BLink Green
<circa 8s>
Blink Orange
<circa 50s>
Blink Green

Anyone know what the Blink-Orange means? Is it Linux doing that??

The 50s sounds like a watchdog timeout... (I counted the time, so it 
may have been 60s ;) ).
