Flashing red means battery error. If you don't have a developer key please get one. Unlock your machine and then do what ever it takes to cause the red flashing. Then reboot the machine hit esc at the countdown to to get to an 'ok' prompt. Then at ok prompt type: ec-abnormal@ . Note the ' .' on the end. That prints out the value. This should print a number. Please report back what that error code is. > 2.

The system firmware doesn't really have much to do with networking so I'm confused if it actually made a difference. Was the firmware the only thing you changed? -- Richard Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
