Yes. CFE doesn't implement ssh/telnet, so serial console is the way to
talk with it. Plus you need serial console to watch OpenWrt booting
process, so we can what goes wrong.

You mean upgrading to the latest Netgear firmware? Well, it doesn't
matter if they disabled telnet server in it. We don't really telnet
access to the Netgear's firmware.

First provide me NVRAM dump, so I can add support for WNR1000 v3.
Don't try to install OpenWrt before me doing that.
