Hi Grommish and Gnomad

See you both been busy, hope the new business is going well Grommish.

Do you have the latest image so I can place on the Shield, is it the same instructions as before

Load up your Shield in any mode that you have connectivity to, then scp the Image to your Shield in the /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /overlay
Then scp the Image file to /overlay ( scp ItusgatewayImage root@10.10.10.10:/overlay if you're using the default port 22)
Remember to umount /overlay on the Shield before you reboot!
Then just put the switch is Gateway Mode, and reboot (reboot -f on the Itus images, that reboots without init, but I don't like doing it.. reboot works on the test image without the -f)
On the first boot, it'll setup the external /dev/mmcblk1p3 device.  On these images, its /dev/mmcblk1 instead of /dev/mmcblk0!

I've updating the rc.local in the image to reflect the suggested changes by @user8446 in his thread here

I've not noticed any kind of speed improvement, but I also realize it probably won't make anything WORSE either, so...

Gnomad, here is the Code I added below the LED GPIO Configuration so you can add it to your rc.local without having to change the image.  Until i can figure out how to do the upgrade stuff, it basically is removing the .norwits file after copying the image over and letting it rebuild itself.  Not the best for when you're testing local changes.
