Auto power on
Normally, after applying power, you have to push the button to turn on the ns2. If you want it to switch on automatically, you have to switch a bit in the i2c eeprom. The eeprom is available for reading and writing under Linux at the pseudo file /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0050/eeprom. The content of the eeprom is the following:
| Offset | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 00..01 | Version/MAC Addresses | It indicates how many mac addresses are stored in the eeprom, it's always 2 but only the first one appears to be valid |
| 02..07 | Mac address | It's the mac address of your board |
| 08..13 | 2nd Mac address | Bogus mac address 01 FF FF FF FF FF |
| 14 | Power flag | 0 = wait for the button, 1 = auto power on |
| 15 | Fake sleepmode | Used by the Lacie stock initramfs, it's FD and you can ignore it |
Changing byte 14 from 0 to 1 will enable auto switch on.
