Web Firmware Upgrade GS108Ev3 fails
Can anyone explain why you cannot upgrade the firmware on GS108Ev3 from firefox on linux? In my case from V2.06.17 to ENV2.06.24EN.
After numerous attempts I noticed another comment elsewhere on the same subject where the user used a Windows machine and it worked.
The same just worked for me...MS Edge (!) on windows 10 VM upgrade works as you would expect!
What is the logic here that I am missing?

Hi dl42,
I've tested this from my end, and doing it from Ubuntu:
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Release: 22.04 Codename: jammyI get the following error upon uploading:
However, W10/W11 etc. work fine.
I'll raise a bug for this. In the interim, if FW needs to be updated, if you can use a Windows machine.

Something very strange in the way the Web server and/or the IP stack is implemented - this oddity exists since the very early days of the Plus switches. A long time entry in my bucket list notes 8-)
I raised this with our engineering team, but they where unable to replicate it.
I then retried it on my test setup, and, unfortunately it's not occuring there either anymore.
I upgraded to latest FW, then downgraded to both .16 and .17, and then back to .24, and in all these occasions, the FW downgrade/upgrade is accepted through Firefox on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04).
Could you advise me of the use case of the switch, so I can see if I can replicate that more, in the sense of the same network settings?
Additionally, would either of you be willing to supply me with a Wireshark capture, of the network card, that connects to the network, before opening the browser in Ubuntu? Subsequently, then proceed with the steps until the error occurs, and download/forward this capture to me?
I will continue with some testing here, to see if I can get to the same issue again.
