Earlier firware upgrades were done through the browser.  If you go to
the Help tab when you log into the router you will see a link entitled
"Upgrading the firmware".  But as you can see it wants IE 5.0.

NOTICE !!
Currently, this Firmware Upgrade utility support only IE 5.0 and above.
If the file dialog does not appear after pressing 'Browse' button, you should 
try to set lower security level in the 'Tools/Internet 
Options/Security/Internet&Local intranet/Custom Level/Java Custom Settings' of 
your browser.

I think they also offer a tftp.exe executable on the webpage that also does
the same thing.  You will need windows to do it this way.  If you can convince
the webpage that you have a IE 5.0 browser I don't see any reason why it would
not work.
