Re: [OT] struggles installing builds

I now have several SD cards. OFW will successfully use *one* of them as a source of images. With the other SD cards, OFW gets "stuck" trying to write to nand from an image on the SD card. [My Linux system reads/writes all these SD cards with no problem.] I now have several USB sticks. OFW wil

Dan, As you noted, "intermittent" is wireless nature. The WPN824v2 is, to my best knowledge, a preN router. Have you updated its firmware? It would be extremely helpful if you post, at some point in the future (or send me if you prefer), information on your experiences with this router (if poss
