Hello all,
    Recently I've bricked my TpLInk TL-WA701ND after updating it's firmware with openwrt. Now I build my Nokia DKU5 cable. I connected the router to serial console. But only thing i get is unrecognized code. I use Virtual machine with Windows XP, because i cannot find proper drivers for my DKU5 cable for Windows 7. Can anyone help?

i forgot. I connect with 115200, 8, N, 1

test if the cable works properly:
1. turn off echo in terminal
2. connect cables tx to rx line
3. type something into terminal and look if that gets echoed

The discussion might have continued from here.
