Just spent an afternoon awaking my "bricked" WLA-G54 (Buffalo AirStation AP).  Eveytime I flash it with Kamikaze, it seems to stop working.  Eventually I figured out that it's trying to BOOTP/DHCP on the internal LAN port.  I tried the firmware made for WBR-G54 (the router from Buffalo) but it didn't work either.  Eventually I tried to ping the 192.168.1.1 (from 192.168.1.10) and saw the router do ARP request on 192.168.1.10 but with VLAN tag 0.

The following applies to other router/APs that don't have the same VLAN configuration as the default Broadcom dist:

1.  Use a linux box (software based vlan using vconfig, easy) or find a NIC on Windows (only Gigabit cards support it, seems) that support VLAN tagging and create an interface with VLAN tag 0

2. Set the IP address on that vlan tag to 192.168.1.10

3. Connect to your router/ap and ping 192.168.1.1, if you get a response: you can just telnet/ssh in and change your /etc/config/networks accordingly, using this link as a hint:

Good luck
