@Lazar-Demin Glad to hear that! Thanks for adding the UFE connector on this one! The Omega is getting very powerful for its size, and antenna options will make it a smaller alternative for many items already on the market.

@Lazar-Demin will OpenVPN be functional on the Omega2?

Is OpenVPN on any list to be made functional for the Omega?

@Boken-Lin No. I only have the mini dock, but will order whatever I need to get this done.

Here is what killed it. http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/extroot

Sorry, had the USB out of it. here is the boot with the usb drive attached.

Tried the reset button several times, no luck. I am able to connect via serial.

I was having trouble getting OPKG to install anything properly to a USB drive. While trying ideas to resolve this issue, I ended up with a boot loop.

light on solid - 5 seconds
light off - 4 seconds
fast blink - 3 seconds
slow blink - about 20 seconds
sequence restarts

Does anyone have info on how to reload the base image with the device in this state?
