Revision as of 11:28, 23 August 2012

Firstly, thanks for coming (and contributing) to PS3DevWiki. It seems like "official" now. :)

I don't know if you notice but EussNL made a backup of your repository in http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/OtherOSplusplus/ ; but it's not "up to date". So if you want/can merge your latest changes (from gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/ but you told me you got it on your hdd) to this "new" repository, it would be awesome.

Thanks a lot.

NAND:	KERNEL=="ps3flashf", SYMLINK+="ps3flash"
NOR:	KERNEL=="ps3nflashf", SYMLINK+="ps3flash"

Wireless is fully handled by patches:
no more ps3_gelic.disable_eurus_ctrl_iface=1 boot parameter for NAND;
