I've updated to the Q2D08 firmware now. Whereas the '07 firmware seemed to run the test /wlan ok, but the wlan card wasn't visible to the regular OS, now when I run the same command on the '08 firmware I get
ok test /wlan Device /wlan not found. ok So what's the verdict. Do folks think I should RMA this thing? It seems like it got busted merely via software - which one would normally not expect to be possible. (-: Tom ;-) On Jan 6, 2008, at 12:56 AM, Tom Seago wrote: > Hi Mitch.
