So I did my upgrade yesterday (720 packages) and it went fine.

Changing tmp_dir option in /etc/opkg/opkg.conf was mandatory because tmp 
files during this update were ~100mo.

My contacts were ok because my SIM has always been empty and my contacts 
were already in opimdb.

I had to install myself fso-gpsd (for tangogps), I think opkg 
uninstalled it (tangogps worked before update).

Wifi seems unavailable, but after seeking the ML I found there is a bug 
in FSO MS5 (MS5 is the revision ?) and I had to do :
     echo s3c2440-sdi >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c2440-sdi/unbind
     echo s3c2440-sdi >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c2440-sdi/bind
in order to get eth0 back.
Any way to fix it permanently ?


Everything else work, kudos to SHR team because I did an upgrade from a 
SHR-t dated from early january 2010 and I was (almost) sure such a big 
update would destroy my FR. But it didn't.

Xavier.
