OK, so it actually did work... was no need to restart wireless- just re-booted Omaga

@WereCatf I can edit that, but the /etc/init.d/wireless restart command does not work, so the config won't be saved

I just noticed that when I ssh into the Omegas I can no longer do it using ssh root@Omega-XXXX, I must use ssh root@192.168.3.1, and my command prompt is root@Omega-OOOO:~#

In short you're right and I have not fixed my MAC address, I've just aliased it

Its really wierd because when I use

uci show wireless

the information is

wireless.@wifi-iface[0]ssid='Omega-XXXX' (Where XXXX is what set the MAC to)

I tried:

uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].ssid=Omega-XXXX
uci commit wireless
/etc/init.d/wireless restart

but the last command did not work. Got the error -ash /etc/init.d/wireless: not found
Know the proper syntax for this?
At this stage the wireless adapter must be reset to save the changes, so the above "solution" does not work

I did manage to fix it using:

wifisetup -ap edit -ssid Omega-XXXX

Which automatically resets the wifi adapter, and is much easier.

Thanks for the help

I reset the Omega a couple more times and finally got the browser GOS to work, but the MAC address is still 0000

I was having trouble updating the firmware on my Omega 2+ (kept getting 404 error), so I performed a factory reset (NOT RECOMMENDED). Ever since that the graphical OS through the browser does not load. Basically kind of bricked the Omega 2+. I just get a directory when I load 192.168.3.1.

With some difficulty I figured out how to upgrade firmware through ssh, but as soon as I upgraded to omega2p-v0.1.9-b152.bin the MAC address changed to 0000

Anyone know how I can unbrick it and restore the MAC address?

Thanks,

Mike
