Kernel 4.x for ClearFog is not quite ready yet. I built 4.3.3 yesterday and yes PCI is working but haven't saw Ethernet phy which is somehow essential for a router board 60 euros for this AC card is also too much in beer fresh expensive Zadorland bottled sparkling water, otherwise named "free-alcohol beer" or Perrier. Edit: This AC card, even I would get it working in Linux, is a dead meat for me since my other wireless equipment is basic.

It's exact depth - only wider. LEDs works fine. Add: Sorry for quality. Have only some cheap compact around.

Basically you need to write a boot loader to new SD card. Extract it from .deb file and write with DD ...

Yes, we use the standard Debian way of setting interfaces. Peek to the docs. Check /boot/boot.cmd ... the actual u-boot script is binary (boot.scr) which is compiled this way - in case you are going to change anything: mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr But leave those numbers as they are if you want to boot

OK, that patch is only for Bluetooth so wireless must work out of the box. What is iwconfig telling you?

Yes, it should be ... if not, than they came with apt-get update / upgrade. They are now in standard system dir and not in root dir (which you might find in some outdated docs) so you just type: nand-sata-install

I assume you were using default (old) deboostrap? It's possible that there were some general security changes in Ubuntu ... investigating.

I wasn't meant your complains ... general wise. Torrents has certain advantages but it's just not the perfect choice for our case. Speaking for current situation. And also with other words: "Leave things that works (good) ... alone" are good in this business

ok

You login root with 1234 Than again: 1234 Than your new pwd: somepassword Again your new pwd: somepassword You need to disable eth0 (/etc/network/interfaces) that to boot up with normal speed otherwise system is waiting some time for eth0 to be bough up. The rest I don't understand. Do you have a wifi on your board? It's not on by default - I have the one without for example.

Clearfog PRO with R1 in the back After a day of playing, I am running full featured Armbian, Debian Wheezy, built with Armbian script from sources. We had to fix few things in U-boot and upgraded kernel to .82 but generally it was easy to boot the board. Of course SolidRun also provide some basic images. Three(3) phys, USB and PCI is detected in kernel 3.10.82 - I don't have much hardware to plug in so I can't do much tests at this point. There is no CPU governor (yet?), so I assume it's running full speed (1.6Ghz) all the time. There are dip switches on the board to set cpu / dram speed ... ____ _ __ / ___| | ___ __ _ _ __ / _| ___ __ _ | | | |/ _ \/ _` | '__| |_ / _ \ / _` | | |___| | __/ (_| | | | _| (_) | (_| | \____|_|\___|\__,_|_| |_| \___/ \__, | |___/ Welcome to ARMBIAN (Debian wheezy 3.10.94-marvell) Last login: Sat Jan 9 10:11:28 2016 from desktop Load: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 - Board: 64.6°C - Memory: 973Mb root@armada:~# Waiting for: I decided to drop idea to put an AC card into the board since it's simply too problematic and expensive (66USD). This card doesn't have support in legacy kernel, in 4.4 have no idea if everything else already works + I have only one AC device in the lab. The Wireless card I choose is not fresh new but it's cheap (14USD) and reported working on Linux: Atheros AR5BXB112 AR9380 450Mbps. If I get stability and around real 300Mbps is good enough. M2 drive. I'll put one 128G INSSD128GM.26M2242 TRANSCEND MTS400 128GB SSD SATA3 M.2 2242 TS128GMTS400 which should be big enough for most cases. Mpci2sata for one ordinary SATA. SFP module. Haven't found the proper one yet. With Armbian tools it's possible to build (I collect and fix all patches) and should be possible to boot kernel 4.3.3 and 4.4 - next.

I am not sure that I need to deal with torrents at this stage. There are no complains whatsoever. There is ongoing plan to add two more mirrors - one in EU and one in Asia zone, than perhaps alternative solutions if Armbian popularity goes sky high

There are small chances for this scenario but yes, I believe it's possible. Images will be recreated soon, but than again I'll need to test at least some of them even we have some degree of checking withing building process. Thanks!

Soon in dev branch (1-3 weeks) but not so soon in stable branch. Estimated.

what you get: iwconfig

Cool, it's working now. Thanks. I'll put compiler under variable and fix u-boot packaging.

I compiled kernel with with Armbian script, no problem. ... also tried buildroot yesterday and also failed. So U-boot is compiling now, with soft float?

Yes, probably (untested), with self compiled branch DEV. I think none of this is present in build accessible from Armbian repository. Yet. USB audio used to be, but droped out by accident

Yes, sure. Go ahead ... BTW: can you try to compile U-boot for Armada ... it's failing for me on two different machines and it's suppose to work.

This is for only one (images) download server, without repository, forum and website.

cd /usr/src/linux-headers-4.3.3-sunxi make scripts And try again. BTW: this driver is already inside kernel.

apt-get install hostapd Hostapd from Debian / Ubuntu repository can be (very) old or not compatible with some Realtek devices. Armbian use self compiled / latest stable. Check this script: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/hostapd In some cases this helps.

I don't have problems with it and am not sure if it's still correct since there are more servers behind.

Yes, you are doing properly but of course you need to have proper pins assigned. Check manuals if exists otherwise trial / error ... Make sure you are powering via power connector with sufficient power supply. Undetected USB port is directly related to poor powering condition.
