Hi all, I would like to share a little feedback about a problem I am facing just now.
About a year ago I bought a net4801-60, and a few days after its anniversary date, the box went into a constant reboot for a whole day. I was a work during this and I could do nothing but observing it reboot about every half an hour. What I did was removing the Wifi card, and the box was up and running again. I supposed it was a hardware issue concerning the pci wifi card, and quite pleased the box was back online. I must apologize to the wifi card for all the cursing on it, because by the next morning, when I woke up, the box looked as good as dead. It was flashing all its LED like a fancy chrismass tree, seeming to scream "Help me, Help me", and nothing at all was showing up on the serial port. I was in great despair, when I finally had an idea, which happened to be the good one. I took the power supply from my switch (which is a 7.5V/1A, as far as I remember), plugged it in in place of the original on, and I had the pleasure to see my OpenBSD boot process going all right. I think I am not the only one experiencing this issue, and here are the characteristics of my power supply: SBD212 s/p: 0602-05684P/b Made in china (but aren't they all ?) So if you have a similar one, beware...
