Touch wood, it has worked fine for the last three hours.Bt there's
still lots of unanswered questions:

1) Why does it allocate itself a 169.254 address?

This is a networking thing. That address is a fallback when dhcp isn't found. the idea being that you can still connect to other devices that have also fallen back to this address. It means your dhcp assignment failed.


2) Why does the Player Info option on the player show Squeezebox2?

They are the same players as far as the server is concerned. The server has no clue what a Squeezebox3 is. There is a bug report and a patch submitted:

3) Why won't it work when I choose the "offered" SSID? I have to
manually keye the SSID myself (the same as was offered).

perhaps you had blanks after the end of the key first time? There is an enhancement request to have tailing spaces removed automatically:

4) Why won't it work with SSID broadcast off?

no idea, I've never had this problem

5) Why does it take 19 seconds to connect to Slimserver, when SB1 took
a maximum of 3 seconds?

if there are any difficulties connecting, then it takes longer. see above.
