Is a prebuilt image+modules available for that revision?

It'd like to see how much it's really stable.

Last week I started a prototype application to control wpa_supplicant

over dbus, and my experiments are going slow because I'm not able to

find a really stable kernel.

As compile/deploy/test phases are frequent and as my tool

enables/disables wifi resource, drives wpa_supplicant, starts/stops

udhcpc at every lauch, after a bit every kernel crashes or wifi

becomes unusable.

I'm using standard AF_INET sockets to read signal quality and it's

broken as in iwconfig, while iwlist eth0 scan reports it correctly and

/proc/* reports always 0 values.

For sure my code is dirty and buggy, but it's only pure userspace, so

I have a buggy hardware phone or a serious care to the wifi driver was

not taken by OM even when it had payed employees. But as the second

seems absurd for me, I'm really thinking I have big hardware issues.

Umh... it may be the debian kernel was packaged from a different branch.

I'll try it, is watchdog capable of hard reboot a very broken system?

some times I can log to ssh but "halt -n -f" segs faults, holding the

power menu for 10 seconds printks it but it does not reboot, while

sometimes it simply becomes a brick!.

I did not added them as they were revealed on 2.6.28, I prefer try the

patched 2.6.29 first.
