I believe the risk of bricking the radio by installing wlanpoke according to the the simplified or the original instructions to be very small. However, if the settings are changed to create 1) very large log files 2) on a persistent folder, and these large files then eventually grow to exceed the available storage, this could cause sluggish or even failed normal operations, which would require reducing these file sizes, or a reset. Of course, willy-nilly deletion of files and directories with break the system and require a reset. I cannot speak to the restorative function of the factory reset operation, but the original authors have assured us in the SSH login welcome message: ...You can safely modify any of the files on this system. A factory reset (press and hold add on power on) will remove all your modifications and revert to the installed firmware. I have never done this. A reset like this is or should be a fairly simple operation. I may try something like this when I get around to installing the new community build firmware (but not now, unless someone has a really good reason to do so). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ POMdev's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70558 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114775 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
