I'm quite sure now the firmware restoration mode is tricky to get to.
I'm positive I had a one point the firmware mode set on the wl-hdd. The power led was blinking as soon as I plugged the power cord.
After flashing the 1.1.2.6, I cannot go back to this mode. I tried to keep the button pressed before unplugging and after, to press it once the power cord is removed and wait, but everytime now it goes to normal boot cycle.
It scares me to think I don't have a reliable way to go to emergency update mode. It probably depends on the way it is shut down as I could get into the right mode after unplugging the power cord without waiting for a full shutdown (and no, it wasn't the blink from the bad file system check because I could start the firmware utility and get it to see the wl hdd)
i'll try to go on my tests.
back to the firmware topic:
I'm now quite sure it would be easy to get oleg firmware working on the wl hdd, using some instmod with the ide folder included in the root fs
Is it something hard to try (even if we have to do the insmod manually afterward?)
