      I'm using 2.2RC on an Alix 2D13 board. I was checking some settings in the web gui and by mistake I enabled device polling. Shortly after it became unresponsive and now I can't connect at all, not even through ssh.

      I will have to wait until I get home to try a reboot, but assuming I can get in through the serial console, how do I disable device polling from the command line?
      Thanks.

        You can do it with ifconfig directly on the interfaces, that will of course be reset next time the config is loaded. You could edit the config file at the command line and then re-boot. Potentially risky if you make a typo. There's probably a way to do using the developer shell but I couldn't tell you how off hand.

          Thanks for the reply. A reboot of the box brought things back to normal. The polling option was already disabled in the UI after the reboot. Maybe the system locked up before the change was saved to the config file?
