downloaded  and installed "kermit95", and learned how to use it 
after many hours of doing "loadb" "erase" "cp.b" , finally got some positive result

Uploaded with kermit , Attitude Adjustment 12.09 R36088 to memory 80000000 , then erased bf040000 +390018,
and cp.b 80000000 bf040000 390018, bootm bf040000

when terminal stopped, typed in "busybox", and there was "WIRELESS FREEDOM"

LUCI is there at 192.168.1.1 ....login + password changed

Connected WAN to Internet,  and have wired internet access at any LAN port.

However, in LUCI's menu , NETWORK.....INTERFACES:  LAN + WAN only, no wireless WLAN !

Did "ifconfig", returned : br-lan, eth0, eth , lo

Checked /etc/config/.......there is no wireless there !

Any suggestion , how to fix wireless ? ....it is an AR9287 chip

Not detected ?
Maybe missing drivers ?

Thanks

Got lucky by finding a fullflash dump file on a russian forum (softtyt.ru)
flashed the mx25l chip using a diy made spipgm programmer
it restored my router to d-link 's v5.10 firmware....and everything worked fine !
from a reset/boot webpage uploaded Gargoyle v1.5.10, which is a latest Openwrt Attitude Adjustment  (read it at the serial console terminal with boot messages) with a much nicer and friendlier  GUI than LUCI
re-soldered mx25l chip to the board ,  re-soldered 2 wifi antenna cables, siliconed a small heatsink to the AR7240
so it is a happy ending, although it took a long time, learned many new things during (spipgm, kermit, putty, MAX3232,etc...)
