Thanks for the reply Bastian. I did try all that -- before I went to the effort of ordering a DKU-5 and creating a serial cable (and at least one other user has hit the same problem, in the forum discussion of WDR4900 support). Using the serial cable I have fixed my problem and unbricked the device. Using the console, I confirmed that the problem is that in failsafe mode, ifconfig is empty. I am now trying to work out how to fix that in the image build so I can submit a patch. I can see how it should all work if preinit included a non-blank assignment to fs_failsafe_ifname. But I haven't been able to work out how that is normally set during a build or if there is some other mechanism which is normally used.
