Yes, just install mtd-tools.

"narcissus" is my wl-500gp.

-------------
narcissus:~# cat /proc/mtd     
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00040000 00010000 "cfe"
mtd1: 007b0000 00010000 "linux"
mtd2: 006d0000 00010000 "rootfs"
mtd3: 00010000 00010000 "nvram"

narcissus:~# flash_erase /dev/mtd3

Router is now 192.168.1.1 in recovery mode on lan and I can flash it. 

Bye

Ps: this mail is sent by debian's exim4 running on that router with
2.6.21.5 kernel ;)
