Just a little feedback on my experiences of the MKV. Most or all are minor documentation newbie helpers. 1. Initial flashing worked a treat but on the leaflet explaining the LED combinations I got the Green powered on and other 3 flashing (Firmware Flash completed sucessfully), however, wasn't sure what to do next to stop the flashing (obvious now though). i.e. I took out micro sd and power cycled. But as it happens to stop the 3 led flashing all you have to plug in eth0, hit 172.16.42.1:1471 to complete the install (which is more or less what the card says :-) ). I think just updating the leaflet to say when flashing complete led combo appears you need to hit 172.16.42.1:1471 to complete the install and "stop the flashing complete leds and there is no need to power cycle or remove the sd card". Maybe obvious now for me but I was coming from normal flash upgrade mechanisms and expecting a power cycle. I also noticed later that the upgrade.bin and md5 files were deleted (from supplied firmware sd) after a sucessful install so there was no need to remove the formware sd card. 2. I ran into the WLAN interface swapping issue meaning when I enabled Client mode it disabled the standard pineapple5_xxxx network. Your forums were very helpful in fixing this. :-) 3. I had an issue with dnsspoof not working (config mismatch with my manual edits etc) and with my playing around managed to soft-brick the device (well maybe not, but decided to reflash anyhow as I had played/changed a lot of config). Again congratulations and well done on the reflashing instructions on your website. One minor note is that putting upgrade-1.0.4.bin on the root of the sd card didn't work (i.e. the binary web download) I had to download the zip and put the upgrade.bin and md5 on the sd root. Tried renaming the upgrade-1.0.4.bin to upgrade.bin but still didn't work so assume it need the ms5 as well. Hope this helps. Cheers Neil
