Re: New WL520GU approach - building on the shoulders of gian

I just got the little green USB thingy with the audio, mouse, keyboard and USB hub combined. See: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270603118805&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT When I plugged it into my WL-520gu Radio (running the ilinux v0.3 firmware), it booted and proceeded to s...

I'm guessing this one will work too, as they state compatibility with major Linux distros.

If you simply must have optical out, this looks like the way to go.

Re: New WL520GU approach - building on the shoulders of gian

that is really nice to know! I'll see if I can install Luci on my existing Mightyohm radio. Many thanks Jeroen.

Re: Short RP-SMA pigtail w/panel connector?

I'd suggest you avoid the whole exercise. I've placed a WL-520gu inside a old radio and the wireless worked just fine. Besides, you would be introducing a foreign element to the old case that could detract from its authenticity.

Re: [MPD]Adding stream URL to a Radiohacked Asus?

Winamp does a great job of decoding the underlying URL for streams.

Play the stream you want, then go to File | View File Info.

Re: New WL520GU approach - building on the shoulders of gian

I might not be an uber-linux geek like you and others, but I do have persistence.

When I figure it out with the help of others, I'll document it so it can be replicated.

Anyone here got any Tomato USB experience?

Re: New WL520GU approach - building on the shoulders of gian

Ok, I'm trying to get Tomato USB with Optware to run MPD with a USB sound card and a 2GB USB flash drive. I'm running the 2.6 kernel version of Tomato. I've got Optware and MPD installed but I'm getting errors. I'm afraid there isn't a mpd.conf file in /etc, so I've got some basic stuff to do. Appar...

Re: New WL520GU approach - building on the shoulders of gian

The seller says they don't know the chipset model. I'm going to order one anyway. Will keep the board posted.

Would still like to see a DD-WRT implementation of this radio.

Re: New WL520GU approach - building on the shoulders of gian

Lloyd, you are right. The chipset is the key to compatibility. You went too cheap!!! Splurge a bit and get a first class cheapo adapter like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/USB2-0-7-1-Audio-3D-Sound-Card-Adaptor-External-PC-/110587936832?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19bf8e0040#ht_2154wt_1135 I g...
