O gurus, what does it mean to brick a device like a wireless router? Is it
correct to say it's corrupting the OS to the point where it cannot boot, and
you cannot re-flash the EEPROM? But if you had a nifty little EEPROM programmer
device thingy, and could safely pull the chip out of the router, you could
restore it?
