Feb 01 07:42:26 <Danicasti> Buongiorno!
Feb 01 12:04:05 <romano2k> hello there!
Feb 01 12:09:50 <romano2k> is there any lives here? it's not the first time i come and nobody never answered!
Feb 01 12:10:40 <blathijs> romano2k: People are (somewhat) more responsive when you ask a question. But anyway, hi!
Feb 01 12:11:37 <romano2k> blathijs: in fact i was trying a new strategy as i always exposed my problem directly
Feb 01 12:11:48 <blathijs> Ah :-)
Feb 01 12:12:20 <romano2k> i'm looking for help because my Option Icon 225 3G USB modem isn't recognized by my Fonera 2.0g
Feb 01 12:12:48 <romano2k> i tried with or without a powered USB 2.0 HUB
Feb 01 12:14:00 <blathijs> The 3G modems seem to be a recurring problem...
Feb 01 12:14:22 <blathijs> I don't have any clue how that part of the firmware works, so I can't really help you there...
Feb 01 12:29:52 <romano2k> blathijs: thank you anyway :)
Feb 01 12:30:22 <romano2k> maybe you would have an idea why the dashboard shows that i have a 2.3.0.0 RC1 firmware
Feb 01 12:30:43 <romano2k> although the last time i flashed it, it was with the 2.2.5.0 firmware?
Feb 01 12:30:49 <cippo7585> any news about the new firmware?
Feb 01 12:31:26 <cippo7585> romano2k: that's seems to be a common issue....
Feb 01 12:31:43 <blathijs> romano2k: Downgrading to 2.2.5.0 isn't supported, could it be that you tried that?
Feb 01 12:35:17 <romano2k> blathijs: yes it is
Feb 01 12:36:05 <romano2k> at a time, i'm afraid i had not yet understood that there was a firmware for the 2.0g and another for the 2.0n
Feb 01 12:36:17 <romano2k> there was something to do with the Icon 225 compatibility too
Feb 01 12:39:04 <blathijs> romano2k: If you really want to downgrade, the easiest way is to use failsafe mode I think (see the wiki)
Feb 01 12:39:45 <romano2k> blathijs: there are too many websites about the Fonera, i'm kinda lost, do you know which one is compatible with my modem?
Feb 01 12:42:17 <blathijs> Eh?
Feb 01 12:42:37 <blathijs> I was talking about wiki.fon.com. Do you mean your Fonera with "my modem" ?
Feb 01 13:16:18 <romano2k> sorry blathijs, i had to leave my computer for a few minutes
Feb 01 13:17:06 <romano2k> blathijs: i meant that i don't care what firmware my Fonera 2.0g has to be running, as long as my 3G modem can work
Feb 01 13:17:46 <blathijs> Ah, right :-)
Feb 01 13:18:45 <blathijs> according to http://wiki.fon.com/wiki/3G_compatibility  (which is the authorative list AFAIK), it should work with 2.3.0
Feb 01 13:18:51 <blathijs> But apparently it doesn't work for you...
Feb 01 13:19:49 <romano2k> blathijs: my Fonera 2.0g isn't running 2.3.0 anymore
Feb 01 13:20:00 <romano2k> and to be honnest, i don't remember what i did before :P
Feb 01 13:20:18 <romano2k> can i upgrade to 2.3.0.0? isn't it meant to be installed on a Fonera 2.0n?
Feb 01 13:21:17 <blathijs> romano2k: You just said your dashboard said 2.3.0.0RC1, right?
Feb 01 13:21:41 <blathijs> romano2k: Anyway, the 2.3.0.0 firmware was never officially released for 2.0g, only the RC (Release Candidate)
Feb 01 13:21:53 <blathijs> but AFAIK the RC should have the same features as the official release
Feb 01 13:22:04 <romano2k> blathijs: yes i did, but a member of the Fon support team told me my Fonera was running 2.5.0.0
Feb 01 13:22:54 <blathijs> romano2k: I remember that the version was set inccorectly in some part of the RC firmware...
Feb 01 13:23:45 <romano2k> so the 2.3.0.0 RC1 is meant to work on the Fonera 2.0g, right?
Feb 01 13:23:59 <blathijs> Yup
Feb 01 13:24:22 <blathijs> (That is, the 2.0g version, which is labeld 2202)
Feb 01 13:34:35 <romano2k> blathijs: so which one should I download from here: http://download.fonosfera.org/RC/ ?
Feb 01 13:38:14 <blathijs> 20090922_FON2202_2.3.0.1_RC1_DEV.tgz
Feb 01 13:38:43 <blathijs> (That's the development firmware, which should allow SSH access, which is helpful for debugging)
Feb 01 13:41:29 <romano2k> okay, i'm going to flash my Fonera right away
Feb 01 13:41:41 <romano2k> why does it take 30 minutes?
Feb 01 13:46:00 <blathijs> It's usually less
Feb 01 13:46:29 <blathijs> But the first 2.0g models had a very slow flash chip
Feb 01 14:06:41 <romano2k> it's flashing.
Feb 01 14:26:47 <Barbon> o/
Feb 01 14:39:51 <romano2k> blathijs: it's been updated
Feb 01 14:40:21 <romano2k> what should i do now? just plug my USB 3G modem on the USB port?
Feb 01 14:42:58 <blathijs> romano2k: I guess (though using an USB hub might improve your chances)
Feb 01 14:43:02 <blathijs> ey Barbon
Feb 01 14:43:09 <Barbon> oi blath
Feb 01 14:43:16 <romano2k> then i'll try with a USB HUB
Feb 01 14:43:22 <Barbon> any news? :)
Feb 01 14:43:31 <romano2k> should i reboot the Fonera before doing this?
Feb 01 14:43:35 <blathijs> Barbon: Nope...
Feb 01 14:43:47 <blathijs> romano2k: Dunno
Feb 01 14:46:42 <romano2k> haha the Wi-Fi doesn't work anymore
Feb 01 14:47:45 <blathijs> romano2k: You mean you can't connect to it anymore?
Feb 01 14:47:52 <romano2k> yeah
Feb 01 14:47:59 <blathijs> romano2k: Perhaps the PSK was reset to the serial number?
Feb 01 14:48:20 <romano2k> i'm having a look to the dashboard with a RJ45 cable
Feb 01 14:48:43 <romano2k> yes you're right, it's back to the SN
Feb 01 15:04:04 <romano2k> blathijs: it's still undetected
Feb 01 21:29:45 <aborigeno> hi there
