Well, I tried to avoid the downgrade option, because this can cause irreparable damage to the configuration ('backup' is your friend), but since there seems to be no other solution available, I had no choice. Anyway, there is poor to no documentation regarding the version downgrade of Alpine systems using 'apk' available on the WWW. Therefore, here a short how-to for documentation purposes I extracted form apk's sources: 1) Backup your system 2) 'sudo nano /etc/apk/repositories' and change URL to whatever version you need 3) 'sudo apk -Ufa upgrade', where 'U' updates the local repository cache, 'f' forces some actions and 'a' tells apk to use the latest version _a_vailable from the given repository, regardless of the (newer) version currently installed. 4) 'sudo apk -r fix linux-grsec' to trigger syslinux installation Being back to 2.5 the USB modem is working, again. Thanks to all for your support! Regards, Tiger --- Unsubscribe: alpine-devel+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org Help: alpine-devel+help@lists.alpinelinux.org ---
