Warning:  New guy!

I picked up a 200 GHs Avalon that was running fine.  I've been working with it fine for a few months and I finally decided to upgrade the firmware.  Used the openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory-20140201 firmware package.

Since then it has been a nightmare.  CGMiner no longer makes any connection to my pools.  when looking in the CGMiner logs I see the following:

[Firmware Version] => 20140201
cgminer: 698d677
cgminer-openwrt-packages: 7a823a7
luci: 4544a03
Socket connect failed: Connection refused


The CGMiner page looks like the image here http://ftp://ftp.storagecraft.com/ava200ghs.png

I've dug through a bunch of posts across many areas.  your help and suggestions would be very welcome.
