Or does it? In other words: is it safe to upgrade?
Source version 2.6.24-3 includes the change required to load the network driver automatically. The new binary version is built from 2.6.24-5 so it should work. If you want, you can always backup the flash with > sudo cat /dev/mtdblock* > backup.img and then copy this flash to your PC. If anything goes wrong with the upgrade, you can then use upslug2 [1] to reflash the NSLU2 the image stored in backup.img. To do this, you would 1. Put the NSLU2 into upgrade mode [2]. 2. On the PC run 'upslug2 -i backup.img' Gordon [1] http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/UpSlug2 [2] http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseTheResetButtonToEnterUpgradeMode -- Gordon Farquharson GnuPG Key ID: 32D6D676 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
