My eyes aren't what they used to be, but are R01F and R02F REALLY size 0603 on the m-board?? If they are, how is it even possible to manually place 0402 parts

Dear Lord that thing is really small on a version-1 M-board (not the mod being discussed - the pencil mod is done on each H-board).

we need a pictured guide for dummies ... so we can break our boards trying ...
courtesy c-scape
is everyone here from Germany - Hamburg that can make the resistor mod for the H Card, i have two of them ?
has someone tried to use a wlan usb stick? how can i do this?

Nice mod 
Please remember to use fans when overvolting & overclocking your unit. If your unit goes "dead" ie. plugged in H-card shows no voltage on top of inductor, this may be due to overcurrent protection of the regulator kicking in. Although I'm generally supportive of hacking, please remember that you're doing so on your own risk. We cannot guarantee long-time functionality of the boards if you mod them.

% of HW errors? or ... show your stat.log please
Can you explain how to do this?
:-)
Maybee some pictures ...

Maybee some pictures ...
a) Get an Ohmmeter or DMM
b) Get an HB or softer Pencil
c) Locate R02F resistor. Donot mod R01F.
d) Make sure R02F measures 1.3KOhm
e) Rub pencil on the surface of R02F 3 - 4 times
f) Measure resistance, if it's 1.2K plug the board in
g) Measure output voltage, and repeat steps e,f if necessary for fine-tuning
h) Hash like a boss
Maybe you need to post picture of step e) if you could and thank you.

Guys heads up on pencil mod for overvolting and thus aiding overclocking.
Use pencil mod on R2F, make it around 1.1 - 1.2K, voltage goes from 0.66V to 0.81V. The default value is ~1.3K. It may blow the 30AFuse if you go too high; so make sure you do it only if you have a soldering station handy
After Mod (I have only 3 H cards )

oops, of course I meant I, not 1. It reads "External clock (must have this on to make the chip work)", so I didn't know. Thanks
Code:
anyone has more information on what happens when turnin on/off those? I found setting i to 1 chips lets other chips across the whole unit to stop working. Anything else?
Code:
A = Autotuning (if off, chip will not be modified by autotuning) [A = on / a = off]
I = External clock (must have this on to make the chip work) [I = on / i = off]
F = Fast clock [F = on / f = off]
D = Clock division by 2 (should be on) [D = on / d = off]
S = Slowclock (should be on) [S = on / s = off]
O = Send clock to output (OutClk pin) [O = on / o = off]
I = External clock (must have this on to make the chip work) [I = on / i = off]
F = Fast clock [F = on / f = off]
D = Clock division by 2 (should be on) [D = on / d = off]
S = Slowclock (should be on) [S = on / s = off]
O = Send clock to output (OutClk pin) [O = on / o = off]

Turn "I" off by changing it to lower case "i" and not the number one "1". But did you read what it says? if you turn a chip off, yes, all the chips after it will also stop working. Solution: Don't do that.

Clarification: BFGMiner's "littlefury" branch (which should really be renamed "bitfury", and probably will be at some point) is currently tested with LittleFury and generic GPIO only, and should also work with Metabank's rigs, but is still strictly a work-in-progress and not considered a stable or even testing release. I haven't confirmed yet that it is compatible with the board design referenced in the OP, but if not I certainly plan to port it ASAP.
As I said I even asked to BUY the hardware, but was told no. Odd.
Sorry, no rant from me. Just you keep saying it is not cgminer. It is cgminer, maybe not the one you and Con are maintaining but cgminer nevertheless.
You asked to buy and they said no? That is odd indeed. I don't know what these h/w guys are smoking. They should be sending free cards to you, Con and Luke-Jr pronto. How much they cost? $50/card?
For now I can't see there being cgminer support.
I even tried to buy one and was told no.
Over irc I've seen the cgminer development gradually progressing over the past few days, I suppose punin (and others?) are "going at it" allready.I even tried to buy one and was told no.
https://github.com/legkodymov/cgminer
Kano, it is not like you have a trademark on cgminer name. Call it a fork, a variant or whatever.
It is still a cgminer.
You can incorporate it into cgminer that Con is maintaining or not. It is ultimately Con's call.
I think Luke-Jr already got a branch for this.
Funny how people post such rants when the reason is shown in the last line
Read the above post ...
This is actually a typical problem we are seeing at the moment, someone goes and forks cgminer, writes a driver, but they don't keep incorporating the latest changes.
Also ... of course when we make critical changes to the inner workings of cgminer, of course we can't test that on hardware we don't have.
Oh well SEP.

Enjoy the cake, the cake is a lie

So just so that I understand, if I SSH into my rPi using those credentials, reset my password and then remove SSH using the first set of commands, won't that lock me out? How am I supposed to re-login into my rPi in the future if not via SSH and will the new login/password still remain?
Your pi/raspberry login will still work. You are only removing the credentials of punin (i guess). For now I can't see there being cgminer support.
