Here's the history of my failure and success
---------------------------------------------------------

 Flashed December 6, 2008 per <http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installation>
  and <http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT54G/GL/GS/GX#WRT54GL>
  and e-mail from Rosenthal 8Oct08   FAILED

 View <http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Recover_from_a_Bad_Flash>

 Hard reset fails

 Download <FW_WRT54GL_4.30.12.3_US_EN_code.bin> from
  <http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=51306>

 Use TFTP to flash

 C:\TEMP>tftp -i 192.168.1.1 PUT code.bin
 Transfer successful: 2941952 bytes in 12 seconds, 245162 bytes/s

 New firmware 4.30.12 build 3, Dec. 20, 2007

 Flashed December 20, 2008 with <dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin> (2.8 mb)
   from <http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/dd-wrt/downloads.html>
   (Tested OK from <https://secure.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/v24/MD5SUMS>)

   Upgrade successful; wait 5 minutes before clicking Continue [forgot!]

   Hard reset (30-30-30) 
    - Disconnect all UTP cables
    - Push reset button for 30 seconds
    - Without releasing reset button, disconnect power cord
    - Hold reset button for another 30 seconds
    - Repower
    - Continue to depress reset button for another 30 seconds
    - Release reset button and give router 10 seconds to resettle
    - Disconnect power cord for 10 seconds and reconnect
   All default settings should now be effective

  Successful; username root password admin
   
  Then flashed <dd-wrt.v24_std_generic.bin> [checked hash]

   from
<http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/down.php?path=downloads%2Fv24%2FBroadcom%2FLinksys%2FWRT54GL_1.1/>
