**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Feb 08 02:59:59 2013 Feb 08 15:09:58 somebody enlighten me , is the fonera 2.0N supposed to be having a flashing usb power light after flashing an ing via failsafe? Feb 08 15:31:32 hybirdd: A flashing powerlight means it cannot connect to the internet, normally Feb 08 15:31:40 er Feb 08 15:31:42 i ment usb light Feb 08 15:31:44 not internet Feb 08 15:32:00 it was flashing and now only my power light is burning Feb 08 15:33:38 The USB light flashes when an USB disk is mounted I think Feb 08 15:33:51 agh Feb 08 15:33:54 it was in failsafe mode before Feb 08 15:34:03 Can you connect to the Fonera and/or see the wifi signal? Feb 08 15:34:07 no :( Feb 08 15:34:44 What firmware did upload through TFTP? 20091008_FON2303_2.3.0.0_Restore.bin ? Feb 08 15:35:24 ah Feb 08 15:35:25 oops Feb 08 15:35:37 my bad :( Feb 08 15:37:47 You tried a regular firmware? Feb 08 15:37:53 yup Feb 08 15:38:18 The bootloader has a specific signature check for firmwares that's different from the regular check Feb 08 15:38:24 No harm done, you can just try again Feb 08 15:38:58 Thank god for signatures Feb 08 15:39:34 Thanks again blathijs :p Feb 08 15:40:55 hybirdd: Even if you flash in garbage, it's only the firmware you screw up, not the bootloader Feb 08 15:41:24 I once flashed in a raw tarball into the flash memory using the "mtd" command (no signature check whatsoever ;-p) Feb 08 15:41:31 Thank god for bootloaders :-) Feb 08 15:42:33 Ok Feb 08 15:42:38 let me go fix my 2303 Feb 08 15:43:18 :-) Feb 08 15:45:41 eh Feb 08 15:45:55 nvm Feb 08 15:50:01 there we go :) Feb 08 15:50:09 thanks again blathijs Feb 08 15:50:17 \o/ Feb 08 15:50:18 i feel so silly for trying to flash the wrong file :s Feb 08 15:57:45 heh, happened to me multiple times as well, so don't sweat :-) Feb 08 15:59:13 Hey blathijs your DIY desk cabinets and stuff look nice bw Feb 08 16:03:38 They work fabulously as well (though the effect of keeping my desk clean has degraded over time, I now just have more space to make a mess in ;-p) Feb 08 16:04:32 :) Feb 08 16:06:24 On the topic of feeling silly, I'm fearful that I might have damaged my 2.0g's flash chip while soldering on a JTAG connector... It's crapping out with kernel errors... Feb 08 16:06:39 meeep :( Feb 08 16:07:36 Or perhaps it was just a bad upgrade, dunno. Reflashing the thing now, let's hope it recovers Feb 08 16:08:02 I was going to try to reproduce a weird file sharing error on the 2.0g, but so far I haven't even managed to get Samba started :-) Feb 08 16:10:31 hey Feb 08 16:10:32 btw Feb 08 16:10:51 is the dev firmware supposed to allow ssh access with a weak passworD? Feb 08 16:12:15 only from LAN, acces is blocked from WAN with a weak password Feb 08 16:12:30 ah Feb 08 16:12:35 (the message you get on the first connect is a bit confusing in that regard, yes) Feb 08 16:12:39 ok then thats okey Feb 08 16:16:57 i always confuse fonero with fonera when i have want to access my smb stuff Feb 08 16:24:14 Also blathijs you should ask if they could change the title of the old don wiki Feb 08 16:28:57 I guess it wasn't really intended to be public really, but not that it is, puting something like "Deprecated" in the title might be useful, yes Feb 08 16:29:41 I'll see about that next week, the guy I need for that is already offline it seems Feb 08 16:30:46 thats ok Feb 08 16:30:56 blathijs: i think tis good to have it public though Feb 08 16:31:02 some info on it is still useful imo Feb 08 16:38:10 yeah, me too **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Feb 09 02:59:57 2013
