Conceptronic CH3HNAS with Fun_Plug (in 2 flavours: chrooted and without a chrooted environment). A lot of functions are not implemented, will not work or even have bugs. It is highly experimental and only for those who want to play around. It is also not c0mpatible with fun_plug 0.5 as it is causing segmentation faults. But with the GPL sources of the device you can do more with compiling packages for your own

chrooted environment: download these files: firmware [1] & fun_plug [2]

non chrooted environment: download these files: firmware [3] & fun_plug [4]

first update the firmware to have it working with the fun_plug files. After upgrading the firmware and reboot unpack the fun_plug archive in the Public folder of the CH3HNAS, in the Public folder you must have a fun_plug file and a fun_plug.tgz file (it will not work when the files are still in the funplug folder).

Reboot the CH3HNAS, if telnet is working, fun_plug is working.

Default the CH3HNAS has SSH access with username: toor & password conceptronic2009
