Verizon Motorola DROID 2 - Android 2.3.2 update pushed out

This morning my DROID2 told me it had downloaded the 2.3.2 update (2.3.20.A955) and asked if I wanted to install it.

Install an update you say?  Duh, go for it!!  

But what changed?  What improved?  What's better?

Default Password List

I'm always trying to find the default admin password for different stuff.  I created a static page of vendors / devices and their default admin passwords.

Updating firmware on an AirLink (Sierra Wireless) Raven X Cellular Modem

Okay, this probably doesn’t apply to many people because I doubt the user base for these units is very big, but I ran into this issue today. 

Problem

Wanted to upgrade the firmware on an AirLink Raven X Cellular Modem (V4221-S) to the latest since what it had on it was from February 2007.  Appearantly AirLink is now Sierra Wireless (or they bought them… I don’t really care…).  Downloaded release RavenX_EVDOA_4.0.7.001.exe  and ran it from a  laptop connected to the modem via ethernet.  Before reaching the 50% mark it told me “Unable to write the firmware to the modem flash”… how rude!
