Fairly mysterious...

Does LinuxCNC run properly?

Yes, I've been using the machine since 2022 with no issue using the stock firmware, i'm only trying to use mesaflash now to use a fifth stepgen. is there something with my linux install that could have gone wrong?

Strange issue...

You might try updating mesaflash to the current version:

github.com/LinuxCNC/mesaflash

(scroll down to bottom for build instructions)

trying to do this, I realize the computer I use seems to have some broader networking issue, I usually use it offline, I connected it to wifi but I have no acces to the internet, any leads to where this might come from? wrong ip adress setup on my pc?

The IP address for the WIFI should be assigned automatically via DHCP
not something you normally need to change.

Do make sure that you are not using wicd for network setup
it broken and does not allow a DHCP WIFI connection to coexist
with a static Ethernet connection.

thank you for the help, I did a fresh install using the latest image and got mesaflash to work, the proper firmware is now on the board.

I have a few more questions before I fry my card

when connecting the bob o the 7i96 in what position should W8 be?

what is the correct adress for the P1/PWM pin on the bob?
