The brcmfmac driver briefly loaded before the blacklist took effect during the reboot. The driver IS now blacklisted and the adapter is DOWN. To prevent even the brief boot-time transmission, run `sudo update-initramfs -u` on Quartz to bake the blacklist into the initramfs. --- ## Services Status | Service | Node | Status | |---------|------|--------| | ares-apparatus-health.service | ARES Dynasty | **STOPPED + DISABLED** | | ares-dynasty-health cron | ARES Dynasty | **DISABLED** (commented out) | | SSH monitor | Styx | **ACTIVE** (every minute, logging to /tmp/ssh-monitor.log) | | killuminati nginx | Dragon | **ACTIVE** (serving killuminati.nftlasvegas.io) | | killuminati alert cron | Dragon | **ACTIVE** (every 5 minutes) | | Tailscale Funnel | Dragon | **ACTIVE** (https://dragon.tail3612d7.ts.net) | | Gitea | Synastry | **ACTIVE** (port 3000) | | netplan-wpa-wlan0 | Quartz | **MASKED** (symlinked to /dev/null) | | brcmfmac driver | Quartz | **BLACKLISTED** | --- ## Quartz Wi-Fi State | Component | Status | |-----------|--------| | Onboard AzureWave (E8:FB:1C:65:20:73) | wlan0 DOWN, driver blacklisted, netplan config deleted, service masked | | AX900 USB adapter | Detected as USB device (aicsemi AIC8800), NO driver available in kernel | | AX900 status | **NOT FUNCTIONAL** — needs out-of-tree AIC8800 driver.

Factory reset QNAP switch + change hostname to "QNAP" + change admin password 2. Quartz AX900: needs compatible adapter (RTL8852BU recommended) or AIC8800 driver build 3. DHCP hardening (pending Codex review of playbook) 4. Update initramfs on Quartz to prevent boot-time brcmfmac loading 5. Investigate Dragon Tailscale (M2 bypass path) 6. Verify Vizio TV at 192.168.0.106 in the morning 7. Install msmtp on apparatus nodes for email alerts 8. Update killuminati.nftlasvegas.io with latest findings --- *Snapshot captured by Claude on M5. All nodes are stable. All connections are from M5 only. No unauthorized access detected. The apparatus is locked down and monitored.*
