I upgraded to asus merlin 386.2_2 today on my AC86U router. Ran AMTM and did option EP & U to update everything. When I type in firewall <enter>, I get the following error message:

/jffs/scripts/firewall: /tmp/mnt/ENTWARE/skynet/skynet.cfg: line 1: syntax error: unexpected "("

I am unable to reinstall because as soon as I execute the curl command, a new firewall script is downloaded and upon execution (firewall -install) I immediately get the error above.

I've done a vi firewall search using the find command (/) for skynet.cfg and all 3 lines where skynet.cfg exists look correct.

Not sure how to proceed from here.

Renamed it to .old and ran firewall. just indicated can't open skynet.cfg.
Ran the curl command to reinstall the firewall.
Ran firewall & indicated can't open skynet.cfg
renamed it back to skynet.cfg
Ran firewall & had original error.
 
Renamed skynet.cfg to skynet.cfg.old
touch skynet.cfg
firewall seems to work now.

Thank you
