rc7-smoketest9 is out, no major changes, just openwrt head + the packages asked for below. minimally tested on a 3800. not tested on a 3700v2. At least on the jffs2 version, the wifi detection routine failed and I had to run wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless and reboot. ge00 comes up for me. An ongoing problem is the lack of random numbers for wpa. If it otherwise breaks, I will be offline this weekend, please go back to rc7-smoketest8... it appears dibbler-poslib is built as a separate package, with an incorrect dependency...

I note it's best to NOT preserve settings over a reflash. SOMETIMES you can switch opkg repos to the latest, particularly when the kernel doesn't change - but not on smoketests.... * DHCPv6-PD isn't supported. Looks like it is scheduled for 1.2?

Wow. > Meanwhile I installed dibbler-client, but can't run it: "can't load library 'libposlib.so.1'" Dibbler is old, and what's in git is improving but unstable. I really don't know what to use. I have a request from comcast to use something, anything, but...
