[Fon+ 2201C - UK]

My FON+ arrived today and ita a 2201C running 3.0.2-r1 firmware. I have looked into all the available info for flashing the Fon+ but none seem to work. When I run Ap51 it returns an error " Telnet for RedBoot not enabled ". Can anyone shine some light on this problem.

Thanks

I had the same firmware version,I tried a lot of different guides before i got it working Chris Oliver’s Blog on unlonk the fon + was the one that eventually worked for me: openwrt-and-jasager-on-the-fon-plus

maybe try this one first but I'd say it probably goes through telnet too: Fon + unlock

I even tried the J-tag way which i don't think i need to do, as i got it working on my friends fon+ by just following Chris Oliver’s Blog

[How many got it working?]

It took many tries to get it to work, but after installing an SD card, i was able to use it as swap space to solve the "out of memory" problem.

I had a similar problem, after a bit of googling I found it was a bug.

The messy fix for it is to wipe the history of what packages are installed and then use -nodeps flag with ipkg for installing webif.

 
rm /usr/lib/ipkg/status
ipkg install -nodeps webif_0.3-10_mips.ipk

You'll need to use the -nodeps for some other packages too, there is probably a better way to fix it .

I'm not really a linux person.

Buts it quick and works , for me anyways.

\o/ finally got it working

The fixed to the md5 thing was in the blog guide:

Now its time to install Jasager. If you attempt to do this without modification, you will hit a roadblock. The package jasager-madwifi_1.ipk will fail to install due to an issue with the md5sum. You need to open up /usr/lib/ipkg/lists/ and remove the entries for kmod-madwifi from any of the files that contain an entry for it. I used WinSCP to edit it

should have rtfm >_>

Thanks for your help digininja

I got the following when installing jasager but i dont think it effected anything:

/karma/bin/create_option_list.rb:16: undefined method `elements' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

from /karma/bin/create_option_list.rb:11:in `each'

from /karma/bin/create_option_list.rb:11

Install finished. Please reboot to ensure all drivers and demons are loaded correctly

Done.

* ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for kmod-madwifi:

I have got Jasager up and running on my fon+ (2201) after much suffering and misery lol :P

The problem I'm having now is that i can't get Karma to start up using the Jasager web page it keeps returning "Karma has been taken down"

I follow a few guides and chopped and changed between a few , so i probably have forgotten some thing somewhere along the line.

Any help would be great, btw is there a command to start it manually ?

[Moving to Canada Halp !]

By the way how hard is it to get a drivers license in Canada ?

I have a full Irish one but not sure If I can get away with that ?

[Moving to Canada Halp !]

Want snow? go to the east coast to Toronto or Montreal.

Want rain ( alot of rain and very little snow) go to the west coast like vancouver.

I lived in alberta for a long time and if you like american texas style of people and living thats your place.

Toronto probably is the best for IT as its the biggest city in canada but Vancouver,montreal and calgary are not far behind.

Hehe snow would be cool Haven't seen that in years in Ireland :P

We do get plenty of rain though :) Ya I was think of Toronto all right

silentknight329 I was thinking of a fast paced environment I think.

[Moving to Canada Halp !]

Hey all I have been plotting a move to Canada for a while.

So I decided I better get off my ass find out some info about the place :)

So if anyone could help me out some with some info I would appreciate it.

Stuff like whats a good city to go to over there , whats it like for IT type work etc

[vista/xp]

I like XP, I run it on my desktop I see no reason to run vista really.

I have vista on my laptop though because it came with it and I'm too lazy to reinstall it >_>

[Favorite laptop brand]

I have an Asus G1 it's pretty solid never had any trouble with it.

I do like Sony though my last one went pop though so not sure sure on how stable they are.
