**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 23 02:59:57 2010 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 23 11:58:15 2010 Mar 23 12:37:05 anyone know what the difference between Fonera+ and Fonera 2.0g is? Except the USB port Mar 23 12:40:49 @Blastur: one ethernet "computer" RJ45 plug at the back of the Fonera 2.0g Mar 23 12:42:19 Blastur: the fonera 2.0g has more ram too Mar 23 12:42:29 and a much more complete interface through 192.168.10.1. It also enables to download when your computer is off (thanks to the USB port) Mar 23 12:43:54 hm, when i look at Fonera+ in the FON shop, it looks like it also has 2x RJ45 ports? WAN+LAN Mar 23 12:45:10 Sylvain001: what do you mean with a more complete interface? Mar 23 12:45:29 does any of these have 2 physical eth MACs, or is it just a switch chipset inside? Mar 23 12:45:38 i mean for proper routing Mar 23 12:45:56 Blastur: it has a switch Mar 23 12:46:09 this doesn't mean you can't have 2 macs anyway Mar 23 12:46:20 we only use 1 mac because we don't need more Mar 23 12:46:35 but if you really need it, it can be changed Mar 23 12:46:38 manually Mar 23 12:47:06 so the soc contains 2 macs? Mar 23 12:49:11 i mean, if only 1 mac is used, how do you isolate the WAN from the LAN? a switch between these two would leak packets onto the WAN .. wont it? Mar 23 12:51:30 no, the driver manages that Mar 23 12:51:31 Blastur: the interface enables to interact with services like Facebook, Youtube, etc. automatically. Also easier to use and better-designed. True, 2 ports at the back of the Fonera+. The one I've got at home is probably a simple Fonera (with only one eth port). Mar 23 12:52:19 Blastur: the driver knows which port the info is coming from and has different virtual interfaces for the ports. Even if they have the same mac, for the OS it is different interfaces Mar 23 12:52:29 hope that helped, gotta leave now Mar 23 12:52:31 will be back later Mar 23 12:52:38 iurgi: so it has VLAN capabilities? Mar 23 12:53:56 Sylvain001: if we focus on the hardware only, the difference is then basically just the amount of RAM? Mar 23 12:56:58 Blastur: I'm not sure it's strictly vlan Mar 23 12:57:01 I think so, yes. But don't forget the ability to connect through 3G thanks to the USB port... theorically at least. Mar 23 12:57:16 Blastur: more RAM + USB, yes Mar 23 12:57:21 and an extra led for the USB ;) Mar 23 12:57:33 true :-) Mar 23 12:59:06 bye! see you later Mar 23 13:05:00 Can no one help for connecting a Fonera 2.0g through a 3G Huawei E160E? Mar 23 13:15:50 i guess the Marvell switch tags LAN port and WLAN port differently then? and then linux seperates them onto 2 different virtual interfaces coming from the same physical MAC Mar 23 13:18:49 i can't believe how slow the NAND memory of these devices must be Mar 23 13:19:05 i read the flashing guide on fonosfera.org, and it states flashing takes between 15-30 minutes Mar 23 13:19:09 that is insane Mar 23 20:37:25 I have problems ton connect a 3G Huawei E160E to my new Fonera 2.0g. May anyone help me? Mar 23 22:39:59 I want a Fonera Simple **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Mar 24 02:59:57 2010
