    I’m interested in creating a working WiFi or USB network solution for device registration in FOG.

    I have approximately 160 laptops to add to FOG that do not have a built-in Ethernet port. I’ve already tried using USB network adapters, but this has introduced extra complexity. In addition, a second laptop I tested is not consistently able to boot from the USB NIC, even though it worked on the first device.

    To clarify, I am not attempting to image over WiFi. I only need network connectivity in the FOG environment so I can register each device and capture the correct MAC address. I will then image via Clonezilla using a USB-C NVME, which takes under three minutes to image each device

    If possible, I would appreciate guidance on modifying the kernel so I can include future WiFi drivers.

    I’ve attached the relevant information I believe you will need.

    Hello everyone,

    I am facing an issue with image capturing after performing an upgrade on my FOG server from 1.5.10 to 1.5.10.1886. Before the update, everything worked fine for me. The images were stored directly on the Synology NAS.

    My Setup:

    FOG Server: IP 192.168.10.220 (Debian 13) Storage: External Synology NAS with multiple virtual IPs (192.168.109.220 and 192.168.110.220). Storage Configuration: The Synology NAS is configured in FOG web UI as the Master Node for its storage group. The local Default storage node is NOT the master. Clients: Multiple clients on different subnets (e.g., 192.168.109.23 and 192.168.110.23).

    The Problem:
    The Partclone phase finishes successfully on the client machine. The image files are correctly uploaded via NFS directly to the Synology NAS into the /images/dev/[MAC_ADDRESS] folder.

    However, right after Partclone reaches 100%, the task gets stuck in the FOG Web UI (at around 70%), and the client screen shows the following PHP FTP error:

    Error returned: Type: 2, File: /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php, Line: 709, Message: ftp_put(/images/dev/[MAC]): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory, Host: 192.168.110.220, Username: foguser

    What I have verified:

    I tested the FTP connection manually via CMD/PowerShell from a PC using the same foguser credentials. I am able to log in, mkdir, rename, and rmdir inside the /images and /images/dev directories on the NAS without any permission errors. If I move and rename the MAC folder manually inside Synology File Station from /images/dev/[MAC] to /images/[Image_Name], the image works fine. This setup worked flawlessly before the FOG server upgrade. The /images directory is NOT mounted locally on the FOG server itself (and never had to be). Verified FTP username and password on NAS and FOG. It's same.

    It seems that fogftp.class.php is incorrectly triggering ftp_put (trying to read a local file from the FOG server) instead of doing a remote ftp_rename directly on the NAS storage node.

    Has anyone encountered this bug after a recent upgrade, or is there a specific setting in the new version that I missed?

    Thank you for any help.
