UTM9 Software installation and hardware detection.

PeterRiggs

I decided that my old Astaro8 firewall has got a bit long in the tooth and an upgrade to UTM9, with the integrated WiFi would be worthwhile.

Since I have only a small home network, unlikely to see more than 3 simultaneous users, I decided that a Jetaway JBC320W should do the job.

I have downloaded asg-9.408-4.1.iso and used UNetbootin to create a bootable USB drive.

After failing to install (failed to find install.tar), I also looked at the Install Log and saw that the Realtek WiFi module was ignored during hardware detection:- "Ignored because it lacks a name (buggy hw?)"

So I have replaced it with an Intel device.

After reading the threads on 'successful USB installation' I followed the suggestions and made an attempt with the updated hardware. The installation failed again.

There are two problems:-

(Intel WiFi Link 1000 Series 1000BGN) ignored because it lacks a name (buggy hw?) : Same as the Realtek

 

system: tar pxf /install/install/install.tar -C /dest

tar: invalid tar magic

system: returned with exit status 1

ERROR: There was an error creating the base environment

Can anybody suggest solutions? I would really like to have the WiFi integrated into the UTM.

    So maybe I panicked ...

    Looking back at USB install solutions, I noticed that Rufus was the preferred Bootable USB creator. So I used it and the install worked fine.

    As to WiFi integration, I found a number of threads referring to it and pointing out that Sophos do not support WiFi cards. Okay, I accept the stated reasons but it is still a shame.

    Anyway, now to get my configuration finished and see how the quad core Celeron running UTM9 outperforms my old dual core Atom running Astaro8.
