| + | |||
| + | In this release we changed the hotplug binary to add our xtcos-hotplug-config feature. During this process we used the wrong hotplug sources and so poorly this hotplug agent misses the detecting of the wifi adapter (and maybe more). But you can easily change this back to the original hotplug from firmware 2.2 since we put the original binary in our firmware, too: | ||

| With this release we add for the first time a simple util to configure some deamons, service via configuration files you put on your usb stick. The idea behind is that you are able to config the firewall even you made a big mistake first and have no more access to the box via network. And since right now we have not keyboad, monitor I thought this way to configure may not be a failure. | With this release we add for the first time a simple util to configure some deamons, service via configuration files you put on your usb stick.
