I have installed the ESP module as well and it is working great. However, it has some drawbacks if you want to use this as primary method of rooting.
The reason is that you cannot submit <CTRL> characters to the serial port via the Web interface of ESP-link.
You therefore cannot follow the standard rooting manual as it require the use of editors which are all controlled via <CTRL> or <ESC> characters.
What you can do on Toon version 14x and 15x is the trick with entering the password to get into uboot via the ESP card. For version 16x you must allways fallback to the JTAG interface.
Once in uboot make the change which drops you into a shell after reboot.
Have a copy of modified versions of all the files you normally edit(when following the manual ) ready on your own webserver beforehand.
Once in the shell, download those files via wget and replace the original files.
If I have time (which is scarce nowadays) I will look into a fork of the ESP-link software which will allow submitting <CTRL> and <ESC> characters via the webinterface.
Hope this helps.
