The web ui uses the "sysupgrade" command. So implicitly the instructions 
above to use "web ui" to upgrade, means you can use sysupgrade.

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.sysupgrade

So I just did:

cd /tmp
wget <url to Linksys factory image I wanted to install>
sysupgrade <filename>

Then it rebooted. I then had to use the factory default button on the 
device to reset the configuration before things started working properly. 
"sysupgrade -n <filename>" does this as well, but I am not sure the 
Linksys configuration data is stored in the same place so that might or 
might not help.
