Yesterday, when I ssh'ed into my N66U (v 3.0.0.4.374 (.32, I think)), all was well. Today, however, when I entered 'ls', all I saw was '.'.
I eventually discovered that I could see files by entering 'ls /*', but not 'ls *' -- that is, absolute pathnames seemed to work okay. The next oddity is that when I entered 'ls -al /*' I saw this:
[admin@RT-N66U root]$ ls -al /*

I don't understand what the question marks are doing there, and the permissions look funny (although that could be normal.)
I upgraded the firmware to ...34, but nothing changed.
Any clues as to what is going on, and even more importantly, how to fix it? As far as I can tell, the router is otherwise working correctly.
