new Vu+ Beta drivers 29.09.2011

[RuberDuck]

to use these drivers open the relevant archive using winrar

now navigate to

lib/modules/2.6.18-**/extraon your box
backup the files in this folder first then overwrite them with the ones that you download, there should be four files in total.

once the files have been transferred exit out of the FTP program and start a telnet session ( DO NOT REBOOT THE RECEIVER YET. ) once you have logged in issue the following command
depmod -a after issuing the mentioned command you can now reboot the receiver. also please note these are beta drivers and as such you should always backup your existing drivers in case things go wrong and you need to go back to them. as always if your unsure about any part of this leave well alone.

not sure whats up with the links though.

looks like Vu may have found a bug and pulled the links

Just updated mine, VU+ is not starting now, I didn't back up old files, lesson learnt :-(

[RuberDuck]

we've all been there mate. they have since released two more sets one from the 30th and one from the 4th just load the last stable set and you'll be fine.

Yup just found an old post got those drivers, back in business, no wonder they pulled them :-)

yeah also sometimes the new beta drivers require a new build image to work properly. good thing about the Vu boxes there almost indestructible.
