Hi Nikolaus, Thanx. Lenny and etch have the wpa_supplicant without zydas driver, those ones should work with kernel 2.6.24.3. The echo power string is needed if you use internal build in wifi (usb port hidden inside) you can disable the power from this usb. If you use the external usb stick

You're not the only one. But now you have the Alpa400 kernel running, can't you just use IMG files for recovery? The 3MX releases are all in IMG format, try them... -Original Message- From: Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller Sent: dinsdag 24 augustus 2010 10:09 To: mipsbook-devel@linuxtogo.org S
