Oh how I wish that were true:) I had dropouts all day today with the squeezebox no more than 3 feet from the AP and nothing but air in between. And in a hospital where cellphones and wifi are forbidden (though most people in my area of the building disregard the former). I'm not entirely sure its the wifi, though. I get no dropouts wired; maybe theres some io scheduling issues with the single threaded nature of slimserver that only come up with wireless (or my wireless driver). I reniced it as high as it would go with minimal (possibly even coincidental) effect. I also tried the latest nightly 6.0, which skipped at least as much. I mentioned this in a thread of my own, but since noone's responded... ;) Things I'll be trying next (PLEASE help me add to this list): -a more mainstream kernel(but not too mainstream; my root fs is reiser4) -enabling various debug flags in slimserver (none of them look real promising to me, but its worth a try- could use some input on this) -trying it in windows (not sure whether this is possible- the notebook as access point (easy in linux) or the sb in ad-hoc mode(no documentation or option that I can find and doesnt "just work")) -various antenna arangements (it has occured to me that, perhaps, the signal is too strong: obscure it; otherwise build a directional antenna) -shielding my backpack (in addition to operating between the desk and floor, I need my notebook and SB to talk within the same backpack (different pockets)) _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
