As i realize, it is a MIPS too, and he's talking about utilities, not
the kernel. (I'll download sources tomorrow, i have only GPRS internet
connection, so i will take several hours, and the i'll examine it). At
least some idea ;)

Using dd also suggests padding resulting file to 2048*1024 bytes, am i
right? And using block size of 64k?
As of image, i remarked, that file resulting from reading /dev/mtd look
like: boot&variables(64k) + original image I have uploaded using Edimax
program(approx 1.9M) + zeros to the end of 2M boundary.
So you think it may work? (dd ?) Image generation and upload using
Edimax-supplied tools works.
W.P.
