Very well then, it seems they have even cleverer people at bitmain than I gave them credit for, my bad.
Now if you do not mind throwing some light on the issue that is perturbing me, so here goes:

Aside from the pic firmware in the Nov release (which you cleverly established to have been fiddled with by bitmain), what advantage has the rest of the update in the Nov release is there to be had over that in the Oct release? Seems to me a simple and complete reset to the 13th Oct 2014 firmware rather than fudging the two would do nicely. Ofcourse, I am speaking from a postion of utter ignorance, so bear with me there).

The pic firmware seems to change every other release or so. For example antMiner_S320140811 and antMiner_S320140826 have the same pic firmware as do antMiner_S320141013 and antMiner_S320141024. Right now the main issue with antMiner_S320141013 is the broken webui, I recommend everyone stay far far away from antMiner_S320141024 as it greatly increases the chance of you bricking your control card(only way to recover is with ttl) since the reset doesn't work(filesystem issue), the latest firmware has the correct filesystem and fixed webui but a bad pic firmware. If you want to use antMiner_S320141013 you should ssh and execute the following command to fix the webui.

Code:

sed -i 's/Save\&Apply/Save\&Apply/g' /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/cgminer/cgminer.lua

Right, this is getting a bit confusing for me, but never mind, I appreciate all the information.

So to recap, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to update firmware to the Nov 2014 release aside from the fix to the web UI, which fix can be applied by a single line via ssh.

Am I correct in this or have I missed something that is obvious to you?
