Regarding the DNS-323 firmware issue we discussed a few months ago (that revision changed from 3 to 4): Manuel Roeder agreed to do some tests on his B1 DNS-323.

Just to summarize the problem again: Debian (or rather, dns323-firmware-tools) currently uses a revision 3 in the image. However, the firmware on C1 DNS-323 machines uses a revision 4 and rejects images with a revision of 3. The question is whether revision 4 images are accepted by the current and old DNS-323 firmware images on A1 and B1 machines (testing one is enough since they use the same firmware). If so, we can move our image to revision 4 and it will work on all DNS-323 devices. Dominic Evans found the following revisions to be used in the DNS-323 firmware: dns323_firmware_103: 00 dns323_firmware_104: 01 dns323_firmware_105: 03 dns323_firmware_106: 04 dns323_firmware_107: 04 dns323_firmware_108: 04 dns323_firmware_109: 04 So imho it would be good to test version 1.03, 1.04, 1.05 and 1.08 (1.09 is apparently not available for B1 devices). Manuel, can you download 1.03, 1.04, 1.05 and 1.08 from http://www.dlink.co.uk/cs/Satellite?c=Product_C&childpagename=DLinkEurope-GB/DLTechProduct&cid=1197319419183&p=1197318962293&packedargs=QuickLinksParentID%3D1197319419183%26locale%3D1195806691854%26packedargs%3Df9ffeaf4e83ab6d0166b8cc93b23ebbc3d83540f46ceb58f26706558f9479c4ec3df1411a95e2d40b8161bf516969212f4b253493c501653965d4b39148b4c34&pagename=DLinkEurope-GB/DLWrapper and then check if it's possible to upgrade to this firmware image: http://people.debian.org/~tbm/tmp/dns-323/netboot.img (This is a Debian installer image with revision 4) In other words, install the 1.03 DNS-323 firmware and try to upgrade to the Debian installer image mentioned above. Then try the same with 1.04, etc. For my own curiosity, it would also be interesting to see if the revision 3 firmware of the installer is accepted by 1.08: http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-armel/current/images/orion5x/network-console/d-link/dns-323/netboot.img According to Dominic's, 1.08 uses rev 4 and should therefore reject the Debian installer image but nobody has reported this problem yet (therefore, I'm curious whether this is really the case or not). In all cases, you just need to check if the DNS-323 firmware accepts the Debian image. You don't actually need to run Debian installer. Also, maybe it's a good idea to temporarily remove your hard drive so the DNS-323 firmware won't destroy your existing Debian installation.
