No, the brightness settings are fine (and correct). It's just confusing
when the device turns itself off after reconnecting to the network.

Until I got SB, xmms was running on my laptop permanently. Always
playing streaming audio without any problems.

'WRAP' (http://www.pcengines.ch/wrap.htm) with 'm0n0wall'
(http://m0n0.ch/wall/) and 'ALTQ'
(http://www.sonycsl.co.jp/~kjc/software.html) enabled.

My link-quality is not that good. About 30% (whatever this means). But
it was always good enough for streaming a tiny mp3-stream to my
laptop.

Thats pretty fine. 4 APs and every single one uses a different
channel.
