On my Asus WL500G Premium I've had a little bit of problem with this. 
First, the power led blinks slowly even if I release the reset button 
immediately. That won't work though. I have to keep it a few seconds 
(5-10 would do). Then, it seems this just doesn't work every time :-). I 
always did succeed on my second try though. I flashed it at least 20 
times until I got myself a 2.4 kernel running with debian. Works 
perfectly now, wireless too (well, a few minor issues, but only if I'm 
not careful ;-) ).
