The intention of ssb-sprom _never_ was to be used by users. It is a development tool. So there's nothing going to get removed from it, nor are there read-only checks added. We could, however add a warning to the helptext of the app: DO NOT USE THIS. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. These threads clearly show that people are using the tool who have absolutely _no_ clue what the tool really does. -- Greetings Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
