I heard that people can donate their bricked router. I am in possession of one, and would like to see how I can go about donating it.

As far as I know from this and other forums, you just send it to someone that wants it. Hopefully, that someone can make use of the router to add more contributions here.
What router do you have is bricked? Have you tried to fix it yourself yet?
WGR614 v8 (open source). I loaded it with ddwrt, and had it hooked up to my xbox, and got it working, but a series of attempting to reset the router put it in its current vegetative state. (why i did this, long story) I've basically done everything possible to fix the router, aside from building a serial cable to access the router, which is probably not an investment I want to make.
Thanks for that info, I'll probably hold the router for awhile and hope that someone will see this thread and make an offer to take it off my hands.
I appreciate the offer, but it's basically unresponsive. I've tried tftp'ing into it, but had no luck. As a test I ran a netstat command from a terminal to see what IP it was using, and once in a while I would see an IP for the router, but then that IP would be gone the next time I tried netstat. So there doesn't seem to be a way into the router just using software. :(
Some information in http://www.myopenrouter.com/forum/thread/10807/Factory-Reset-breaks-moun... may be applicable. If your dd-wrt version is earlier than around svn 12250, then the thread describes possibility of bricking on hard reset. I couldn't tell in that case whether software only recovery without serial console worked, since the contributors had a serial console to diagnose the bug.
