Hi Rern
Thanks for your reply and clarification
No need for apprehension, I can only applaud the effort to reduce SD card usage further.
Though I'm by no means an expert in linux/programming, I'd be more than happy to devote some of my time and resources to help test and debug on my hardware. I hope my reports will help others as well.
I've done as you suggested, started from a fresh flashed image and some test tracks on usb stick
Seems very promising, nice and slick GUI for the most part
- Still no AP visible on initial boot, or force reboot, though led on usb dongle lights up
- Code: Select all
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter
The old way of taking out the card, fixing on linux pc, and copying known good wlan profile in /etc/netctl works (which is what the original 0.5b needs as well)
- Playing test tracks from usb drive work fine, loading and scanning large DB on NAS now
GUI becomes pretty much unresponsive while scanning, though network throughput and cpu load seem pretty low (monitored from ssh top and nload commands)
music plays nicely
- I seem to be unable of doing updates though the addons page, stuck at Master branch ?
Is there a way to change to a more beta/testing version?
