This one is the same connector of Fonera 2200 last hardware version. Yes, JP1 is a serial connector: GND, TX, RX, 3.3V.

Let me add that Fonera+ solves any problems the "old" Fonera had with 10 MB Half Duplex devices. To sum it up, Fonera (As opposed to Fonera+) worked intermittently when connected to 10baseT Half duplex network devices. Laptop and some wireless routers are known to have problems, too, when connected to fixed speed Half Duplex network devices (i.e. fastweb) The solution was simple: put an hub or a switch between your fastweb router and La Fonera. Using La Fonera+, this workaround is not needed anymore. Good review.

And they disabled the getty for the serial port... I don't know if it's possible to read the flash with redboot. If it's not possible get a JTAG cable and read the flash modify it and flash it back. To enable the serial console add a line to /etc/inittab: tts/0::askfirst:/bin/ash --login Once you've your serial/ssh console try to find a bug ;) My French is really bad ;)
