This sounds to be an issue with the powersuply on the 5501. The external supply gives you 12V but that it switched down to 3.3V etc on the 5501. Maybe that onboard switch is overloaded because of your wifi board. /thn -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Svensk Aktuell Elektronik AB Thomas Nyström Box 10 Phone: +46 73 069 69 30 S-191 21 Sollentuna Fax: +46 8 35 92 89 Sweden Email: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
