Get the fonera source from:

# wget http://download.fon.com/firmware/fonera/latest/fonera.tar.bz2

Make a directory to unpack the source code to:

# mkdir fon-src

Unpack the source into the new directory:

# cd fon-src

# tar -jxvf ../fonera.tar.bz2

Read the README file and see that you need to have installed gcc, binutils, patch, bzip2, flex, bison,
make, gettext, pkg-config, unzip, libz-dev and libc headers.
So install them if required. I found out that g++ is also required so install that as well.

Now let's configure:

# make menuconfig

Even if you don't want to make any changes run make menuconfig then exit ans save when asked.

Compile with:

# make

To get more output compile with:

# make V=99

Then all you need to do is flash your Fonera using the root.squashfs and vmlinuz.lzma files that can be found in bin/
