I did the "Flash" on my Linky box. I only do basic things with it, and so far it has been working ok.

so... before this ppl could accidentally access the Linky UI page without a password? damn... that's a pretty big hole :eek:

anyway my Linky never gave me probs ever since i started using it. Only my ISP had.
