Thanks. I've got it working! I splitted the firmware with wine firmware_tool.exe , then used tnftp (xferbuf 512) to put filesystem to mtd0 and kernel to mtd1. Rebooted and got it working!

I run linux, I use TNFTP to flash images. I would appreciate if you could explain step by step how to flash the RT firmware onto this router. There's a lot of people around trying to do it. Thanks.
Here's a little howto for gnu/linux users. See this before:
http://oldwiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs% ... ngAR7.html
and use tnftp instead of ftp. For some reason, ftp freezes when tryng to upload the new
firmware image. Somewhere I found that under linux we have to use tnftp with xferbuf=512 option.
1) split the RT firmware image using wine RT firmware_tool.exe
Let's say the last RT firmware is: RouterTech_3.6.0D_20110103_2.95_AR7WRD_Adam2_1-Port_firmware.upgrade.img; after splitting it with "wine RT firmware_tool.exe", you will get in the same directory 2 new files:
a) RouterTech_3.6.0D_20110103_2.95_AR7WRD_Adam2_1-Port_firmware.upgrade.filesystem.bin
b) RouterTech_3.6.0D_20110103_2.95_AR7WRD_Adam2_1-Port_firmware.upgrade.kernel.bin
2) ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100
3) unplug router; plug router and while power led is red, do step 4
4) tnftp 192.168.0.1 (ftp will not work, because it does not have xferbuf 512 - at least I don't know how to set it)
Connected to 192.168.0.1.

Wait for the router reboots.
That's all. Have fun!
