So where are you getting the RoamAbout 8.10 firmware? Enterasys only have 6.06 on their website. Sure, if I put a RoamAbout into a Windoze PC with the RoamAbout 7.44 drivers, it'll load the 8.10 tertiary firmware. If I then put the same RoamAbout into a linux box, it'll report the firmware as being 6.06, as it only sees the secondary firmware (cos the tertiary firmware is in volotile memory). Cheers, Martin. > I replace the secondary firmware version of 6.04 or 6.06 to 8.10 .
