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 :)

Give me more penguins

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).
