Hello,

I just began working with Opwrt, and I'm totally impressed, it turns a totally dated device into a fully working firewall/L3 switch.

Got an old huawey router working and a relative game me a livebox 2.1 labled as Arcadyan ARV7519RW22-A-LT. Also compatible as its page indicates.

openwrt.org/toh/arcadyan/arv7519

I'm following that manual and got the serial port working and all.

I can see the output "Enter command mode …" But hitting space does nothing. I resoldered the port a few times and can't see any change.

It may be that with linux and minicom another key is used? Am I missing some step? Because there are things in the manual I don't understand and I blame my lack of experience in this.

Any help is welcome.
