A friend of mine recently bought the La Fonera (no, not really… he just had it as gift since the fon’s guys were givin’ it for free during the hol­i­days), but he had some issues: the wire­less con­nec­tion wasn’t work­ing as expected: most of the time the signal was lost and I can’t under­stand why since the signal’s power was strong enough. So I said to myself “that’s time to work on”. And now here I am :)

Yesterday I were bored. So I took the linux sources and I began think­ing at some inter­est­ing modify I could make.

So, ehm, well… I did some­thing unusual. I’m proud to present the really-very-most-useless-patch-of-the-year:

Add a boot option “logonum” that allow the user to choose how many pen­guins to show in the frame­buffer at startup. If no “logonum” is spec­i­fied, it shows as many pen­guins as the online cpus (the default behavior).
