[WARNING]: This thread is only for feedback on this beta release for developers and the community's benefit.
DO NOT flash this beta release unless you understand the risks involved and specific device recovery methods.
Avoid discussions! Create threads for questions, general problems or use search; this thread is not for support.
Please list router model & revision, operating & wireless mode(s) and exact filename/firmware image flashed.
Notes:
• CVE-2019-14899 VPN fix from December, since then various revisions including recently 7040.
• In-kernel Samba has been implemented this year and default min/max versions have changed, with WSD support.
• VAP issue is fixed! For any Wireless Mode, create a VAP and both ath0/ath1 should now function properly.
• Local DNS option removed from Services->DNSMasq in changesets 43080 and 43081; ref: #7092
• DHCP and DNS help (English) updated in 43083; ref: #7091
• WireGuard: Policy Based Routing, Kill Switch, Inbound Firewall, Naming of Peers, Status, Key, Guides. Thanks egc!
Issues:
• There may be remaining issues for Samba (for example NTFS), with frequent updates.
Important:
• If reporting issues provide applicable info: 'dmesg', 'cat /tmp/var/log/messages', syslog/serial output, strace etc.
• For firewall issues provide 'iptables -L', 'iptables -t nat -L' and the /tmp/.ipt file.
• Search existing SVN tickets before opening a new one. Before reporting, reset and manually setup (no nvram backup).
• Be sure to include operating and wireless modes (Gateway, AP, CB, etc.) along with relevant configuration information.
Router/Version: La Fonera 2100
File/Kernel: both fonera-firmware.bin and linux.bin were used, latter flashed using RedBoot; kernel should be 3.2.102, last 3.2 version available
Previous/Reset:r33986, with reset
Mode/Status: Client with virtual AP
Issues/Errors: First flashed using r33986 webui. After power cycling, the wifi failed. RedBoot flashing was performed without luck. Later flashed r37961 and works. Since the image size reduced a lot between r43443 and r43471, I suspect there was something wrong laying between and will try some other revisions later. _________________ A RED HORNED vehicle that will run 3 times FASTER

yes its smaller. but thats no issue. thats just optimization. just flash it. and yes it may take 20 minutes until its flashed. i just tested it one week ago. so just wait and drink some tea _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

I don't know what happened either. First I suspect the webui flashing was incomplete and failed, so I switched to RedBoot flashing and completed flashing without error. But after that I still could not access the router over wifi after multiple resets. And I did not happen to have a serial console line in the vicinity to further debug it.
I will post further flashing attempts in correspondent forum. _________________ A RED HORNED vehicle that will run 3 times FASTER
