You need 'wireless-tools' and 'wpa_supplicant'. Add 'scan-ssid=1' to interfaces.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian
Is the ssid hidden? Need to add something to interfaces if it is. Also, does 'iwlist scan' work? Did you install wpa_supplicant?by LeggoMyEggo - Debian
You know I've often thought the V4 A3 has the ultimate form factor for a hackers SOC. Give it a modern dual core 2ghz 64bit CPU, 2 gigs of RAM and maybe built in EMMC and I would even pay $100 for it.by LeggoMyEggo - uBoot
Why not put boot files on MMC and rootfs on USB3.0? This is a V4 after all.by LeggoMyEggo - uBoot

rD, If you were under the impression NAND was much faster for booting the kernel and rootfs, that's not always true and in fact some NAND is dog ass slow. So you won't suffer any serious speed penalties by putting the rootfs on HDD as the processor speed, amount of RAM and storage transfer rates are more crucial. That is what bodhi has patiently taught us :) LMEby LeggoMyEggo - Debian

Just a note here about FreePBX, the latest version you'll get working on armv5 is 13. Everything beyond 13 requires high versions of nodejs and nodejs beyond 0.10.48 is not supported for 6 years on armv5. Asterisk is not a problem as the latest version compiles fine on armv5. Last Debian version that had nodejs package for download on armv5 from repository was Jessie 8.by LeggoMyEggo - uBoot
Just found an another Dockstar I forgot I picked up for cheap but it's kinda disgustingly yellowing. Have a plan to spray paint it aluminum color to match a USB DAC I have. Getting around to that project sometime within the next decade lol.by LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic
Been tempted to do the same thing, there is no possible way I can use all my plug type devices. If you try to sell them, no one wants to pay much more than shipping for it. It's a shame as they are still capable of providing some neat functions but it takes a rare breed to want to tinker with them.by LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic

I'de buy out everything in Microcenter if given the chance. True sickness for me this tech stuff is!

Try searching for someone that has compiled it for Raspberry Pi 3. I've compiled drivers for armv5te using Raspberry Pi modified code for rtl8812 and rtl8821. It doesn't always work automagically so you may need to make minor mods to the makefile to get it to work.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian
So I'm curious bodhi, with the latest kernel upgrade for Oxnas, it's now very close to Kirkwood. Given the very limited manufacturer support available for Oxnas, what functions / drivers / other low level stuff does it not offer that the Kirkwood kernel offers or is there no difference now? I have to confess that my Oxnas devices have been a little neglected as I have been devotiby LeggoMyEggo - Debian
Wow bodhi, that's a lot of posts and let's face it, if it weren't for your work there would be no forum. Think of all those precious 'plug's saved from the landfill re-purposed into productive devices. Much appreciation to you!by LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic
Dougdeep, Don't forget to label the sata drive with e2label to "sata_rootfs" and you need to change the first line in /etc/fstab (on the sata drive) to sata_rootfs from rootfs. This assumes you already adjusted the uboot environment per bodhis directions. I've made this oversight half a dozen times so I know from experience. LMEby LeggoMyEggo - Debian

I've had good luck with both the rtl8812au and rtl8821cu chipsets on kirkwood. Both chipsets support AC and are 433mbps which is about all the USB bus capacity. Some of the 8821cu devices have coexisting Bluetooth radios so they makes a nice single solution device for wifi and BT.

Wanted to post some pictures of the 128GB Microcenter SSD I mounted in the M300. I used a 12 inch 22 pin combo SATA / power extension cable to allow mounting with Velcro to the bottom cover of the case. Works great and puts the SSD at the bottom of the case further away from the heat of the SOC. Nice mod to try that doesn't require cutting or other risky activities.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian
