SHORT ON - SHORT ON - PAUSE
this means that the Linux Kernel is loading.
If the WiFiG25 doesn't blink it, it means the board hasn't found a valid Linux Kernel image on Nand flash, see the follow chapter to update the system to the Nand Flash.
After about 30 seconds Linux will be on and you will reach it via Virtual LAN that was created by USB device.
