I'd love to disable this "debug" feature by default, if you happen to find a fix, I'll add it to the image. > I tried the python sample also, but could not get that to work.

For reference, I'm using this Mediatek source version: http://rcn-ee.net/deb/thirdparty/MT7601/DPO_MT7601U_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.4_20130913.tar.bz2 So If you find the config flag to quiet dmesg, i'll add it to the build snipit. https://github.com/rcn-ee/farm/blob/master/thirdparty/MT7601.sh > The WNA1100 driver is very quiet in comparison. > > I have a TP-Link TL WN725N lying around somewhere (Realtek chipset) that > I'll try out also.

This should clear most of the lxde/xorg package set: apt-get remove -y x11-common ; apt-get autoremove Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
