I also got some crimps jumpers test leads and a set of micro screwdrivers. And small crimp on ends for the 26 gauge ribbon cable to make installation of the 7i77 easier.

As a first step, I would get internet working, then update Linuxcnc to 2.5.4

Is there anyway to upgrade thru a usb key. The pc I am using has a wireless card. (can't tell if it is working. Where is the device manager) and the modem is across the house. Don't really want to break down the pc move it then bring it back

I thought that LinuxCNC 2.5.4 had the xml files the pncconf needs but maybe not

Heres one way to do it:

download 5i25_xml.zip

firefox puts this is your Download directory

so now

cd ~
cd Downloads
sudo cp  5i25_xml.zip  /lib/firmware/hm2/
cd /lib/firmware/hm2
sudo unzip  5i25_xml.zip
