Hi,

I have AP on a tower based on WRAP 2C (x86) with CF card. I want to upgrade installed kamikae 7.09 to latest trunk version. Is there any way to do that remotely without nessesary to flash CF in card reader ? something like in platforms with Flash chip (SCP firmware into AP -> 'mtd -r write firmware.trx linux')

you will need to build a custom image or have access to the device after flash as everything will be reset to default, then wget a image to /tmp and

dd if=imagename.image of=/dev/hda

Yes I have build latest image from trunk and I'll have access after flash because AP has default IP adress (192.168.1.1).
Thanks for a tip!
