Help on updating / restoring WRT54G firmware

Hi,

I just started experimented with wireless stuff, ie, I'm a n00b, and the 
Linksys WRT54G box in particular. I am _really_ interested in hacking the 
firmware (I have some experience in hacking at the Linux kernel) but I do not 
want to end up with a blue box of junk.

The current firmware revision is 3.03.1.

If I upload a new version of the firmware and it doesn't work, how to I 
"restore" a working version of the firmware? Is it just a matter of hitting 
the "reset" switch? If the new firmware does work, will it disappear if the 
power is cycled? If so, how do you make the new firmware "permanent"?

These questions have probably been answered _many_ times before but I cannot 
find those answers anywhere on the Web. And, yes, I have read your page on 
the WRT54G but it seems to concentrate on older versions of the firmware.

Cheers,

Kevin
