Frank,
Run a packet trace using tcpdump or ethereal and see if the dongle.bin.ver is downloaded. If it is, then you need to update the version number to exceed the version that the MVP has loaded in flash. I'm not entirely sure how to do this but I'll do some research and see if I can figure out how to set the version number in the dongle.bin.ver file. If on the other hand dongle.bin.ver is never consulted, then I'm at a loss since this is the mechanism that the MVPs up to the H2 use to trigger a dongle download.
Cheers...

Sergio,
I have been exchanging messages with Martin throughout the day and we have determined that for whatever reason my H3 will not flash a different dongle. It is perfectly content booting from what is in flash no matter what I do. This has nothing whatsoever to do with mvpmc, Linux, GB-PVR, Hauppauge, etc. At the moment, I am trying to figure out if there is some way to get it to load a different dongle by any means. This would explain why I could not telnet into the box no matter what I did and why I have been having such trouble with this box.
Do you happen to have any ideas/suggestions on how to force a load of a new dongle?
Thanks,
Frank

Frank,
If you replace your Hauppauge dongle with the mvpmc dongle on your windows Hauppauge server and you still boot the Hauppauge dongle, this means that the dongle.bin.ver file tells the MVP that there is no need to download a dongle and it will boot the internal flash version of the Hauppauge dongle. You need to change the dongle.bin.ver file to trigger a dongle download. That is, dongle.bin.ver must refer to a dongle version newer than the one built into the MVP's flash. I think the wiki has instructions on how to do that. Once you get the mvpmc dongle to download from your windows box, the next step will be to determine how to get it to load from Linux.
Cheers...
