Been away for a while but back…
Trying ROS 3.19 with ALIX 2D0 (2 ether and 2 mini pci) and seems fine except it was a bit fussy about the CF card (I am using a spare 512 MB card)
I have licence it level 4 and extra channels - and all data is remembered on power off / reboot EXCEPT it seems to lose all interface IP addresses!!!
DCHP client, firewall, mangle, SSID all are remembered but interface IP goes..
It is a good job this is a test unit on my bench.. and I can access it via winbox and the ethernet mac.
Am I doing something silly, IS is a bad CF card (I could only really tell if i liecnece another!!) or is this a problem with 3.19 and ALIX??
I could downgrade I suppose - this is the first time I have tried 3. anything (used to 2.9.51)
It seems to have settled down and to be working fine..
I think the CF may have been dodgy.
I tried it with an IBM Microdrive (!!) 340 MB (an old one) and it worked first time.
It was just the hassle of getting the CF to ‘take’ the Netinstall - it did not want to work always.
It now seems to remember ok..
The key as posted earlier is:
a) netinstall to CF
b) put in ALIX
c) if it’s ok the ethernet interfaces come up then GO for about 2 to 10 minutes!!
d) when the ethernet reappears you are ready to go.
