Fon2100 only works with 1.2.5 firmware

[cotarelo]

Hello,

After several days of flashing and trying I realised that the most stable / performance firmware for my Fon2100 is gargoyle_1.5.6. I am using it as a wireless bridge repeater

I wanted to move it to another place and I ssh into the box and performed a poweroff. When it came up it did not operate correctly, I still could ping the router but I could not SSH / open HTTP so I flashed the same firmware again, it won't came up so I thought it was dead ... I flashed the firmware 1.2.5 and everything seem to worked good, I configured it everything fine. I want now to have the firmware 1.5.6 flashing from 1.2.5 ... but it does not work, after flashing I can't ssh or open http in the router.! why? I don't know but I am sure it was working before with 1.5.6. What's happening here

I am flashing always with FonFlash for Windows

1.2.5 will be the best firmware

I know, it has been many posts stating that, however, from my personal experience 1.5.6 works as good as 1.2.5 plus the network perfomance in the wifi radio is way better (100 KB / sec more) in client bridge with same network setup

Fonflash sends a "fis init" command to delete the flash, but it is not a full wipe.

Telnet or ssh the redboot and send "fis init -f" so it will make a real full wipe.

Now turn off your fonera and then try again with fonflash, it should work again.

I was using the 1.4.7 (more free ram and more stable), but with poor performance in bridged, only 600/700 KB/sec in download (I have a 50 mbit connection).

What was the speed with 1.5.6 ?
