Many 200 Mb/s powerline adapters nowadays are based on the INTELLON 6300 chipset. Despite what can be thought looking at them, they are all using the same hardware and firmwares. I heard many people with Netgear XAV101 or Linksys PLK 200 or PLE 200 having problems after firmware updates and many other people with other brands having much more problems because of lack of support or configuration/upgrade utilities. So let me explain a few things I learnt studying them. Many of 200 Mb/s powerline ethernet adapters follow the "HomePlug AV" standard. (85 Mb adapters use HomePlug 1.0 standard which is completely different). This standard uses ethernet broadcast packets using the HomePlug AV protocol. The interesting thing is that their firmware is made of two different parts: a .PIB file (Parameter Information Block) and a .NVM file (the code itself). In the P.I.B. there are many interesting things: The branding (mac address, device name, etc) and the tone map. I test
So true. The other thing I wanted was a Verizon iPhone.
ReplyDeleteI wish you would re-develop the program to change the IMEI number. I'd like to change it to my BB phone so I can stay with the EDGE service, rather than go to a crappy 3G that I will rarely use.
If I can't find something, I'll end up cancelling my data plan.

I understand your concern for those who would use the ability to change the IMEI number for ill, but it really hurts us honest (poor grad student) folks.
The program was only for iphones, I can do the same thing on sierrawireless cards as well. But it's not a universal program, I have to code a different one for every phone or 3g card.
