Hi folks,
After our recent 2.3.7.0 beta1 release, we’ve received a lot of feedback from
you. After addressing most of the issues you raised, it seems appropriate to do
a second beta release before heading on with the final release. So, here it is:
2.3.7.0 beta 2.
What changed?
-------------
This release brings mostly bugfixes, but a few small features as well. Here’s a
few highlights:
- wifi-bridge mode was disabled on 2.0g. It turns out that there are
fundamental problems with wifi-bridge mode which are hard to solve on
2.0g. wifi-bridge mode will continue to work on 2.0n as before. See
ticket #1080 for the technical details.
- You can now do a wifi scan from the webgui. There is a scanning interface
under the “internet” settings when wifi or wifi-bridge mode is
selected, to help connecting to another wifi network. There is also a
scanning interface under “wireless” settings, to help picking a free
(or not-so-crowded) channel.
- Hopefully, big (>2TB) disks are now better supported. This is still
untested, though, so feedback is welcome.
- Transmission was updated to version 2.33, bringing a bunch of extra fixes
and features.
For the complete list of changes, see the changelog:

There’s still a few issues that still need to be fixed or at least
looked into. These issues are collected in the trac 2.3.7.0 milestone.
We can’t promise that all of these issues will be fixed before the final
release, but at least they will be looked into.
What about my feedback?
-----------------------
We welcome more feedback from this new beta release, so go ahead and
comment and post away. This does not just mean issues or problems: If
you test a new or fixed feature and it works for you, we'd like to know
as well. Feedback is welcome through various channels: comments on the
blog, the development mailing list, IRC or by creating a ticket on our
trac:
http://trac.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/wiki/reportbugs
I’ve tried to respond to every particular issue you’ve raised in
response to the first beta, but it might be that some issue slipped my
mind. So if you haven’t seen any response to your issue, the issue is
not fixed and it is not in the list of pending tickets, feel free to
raise it again.
So, where is this release?
--------------------------
To install this beta firmware, download the web upgrade tarball here,
navigate to your Fonera’s dashboard through “Settings” and then “System”
and upload the downloaded file there (under “Firmware update”). Note
that you should not unpack the file you download (and make sure your
browser doesn’t automatically unzip the file either, it should remain a
.tgz file).
The following versions are available. Note that because this is beta
version, only the developer’s version is available, not the end user’s
version (but you can freely switch between versions without problems).
Be sure to pick the version for your hardware. If you pick the wrong
one, the firmware update will silently bail out and no upgrade will
happen (no error will appear either).
- 2.0g (FON2202) developer's version:
http://download.fonosfera.org/RC/2.3.7.0_beta2/FON2202_2.3.7.0_beta1_DEV.tgz
- 2.0n (FON2303) developer's version:

Have fun!
