Did this work with beta1?

Did you try connecting through ethernet and configuring a static IP for your PC? When for some reason (typo in the WPA password or something), the Fonera can't connect through wifi, there will be no DHCP server (since the Fonera is not running one itself in wifi-bridge mode), so you'll need a static IP.

If you tried this, then there might a real connectivity problem, otherwise, it's just to be expected...

Mmm... I need to try with static IP later.

In addition, I think that the menu needs more info. For example, if I choose Internet Mode: Wireless... Is this a "repeater mode".

I forgot: same problem with beta 1, I will try later with statio IP.

Did you get a chance to try this?

The fact is that a configuration problem of the bridge mode makes the Fonera a brick until a hard-reset is done...

I'd say that it's not a brick, you just need to reconfigure your client to use a static IP to access the Fonera.

In any case, this is not something that's easy to solve. We've explored various scenarios, but none are completely satisfactory, or they are very invasive to implement, so we'll have to live with this issue for now. We might revisit this at a later stage.
