Then I loaded a early june (maybe late may) snapshot and it froze on ifconfig up. The main difference I could see was the gpio being supported in the snapshot, something that wsn't there in 3.7. Maybe I got caught in between two fixes. I haven't time in the next 10 days to play with it, but maybe Olivier can give some feedback in case he tries the latest snapshot? In case the problem remains and the card remains unemployed here I can send it to Germany to pursue a new career as developer assisting hardware? wq
