Hi Jason,

Sounds like a cool project!

I'm working on a project that I read about over at
http://mightyohm.com/blog/2008/10/building-a-wifi-radio-part-1-introduction/

Basically the project is taking a router with a usb port and turning
it into a wifi radio with a usb sound card.  I'm sure there's a lot of
project specific details, but I was wondering if someone could help me
at least understand what my error is.

The project uses OpenWrt.  The issue I'm having is regarding opkg,
which is a package manager used to download and install OpenWrt
packages.  The command the instructions tell me to run is: "opkg
install kmod-usb-audio kmod-usb-ohci"  when i do that, I get this
error:

Yeah, that command is to install kernel modules for the usb interface and the usb audio...

Collected errors:
* pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for
kmod-usb-audio found, but incompatible with the architectures
configured

The stopper would seem to be right here - the other errors are just repeats. It's saying that the platform those packages are compiled for is not a match with the platform you are running on...

If you are using the ASUS WL-520GU, it appears to have a MIPS processor. Are you sure you have the right repositories configured for that hardware? You'll need to set the package source in /etc/opkg.conf as they say and run opkg update. Failing that, you might try grabbing the zip file of all the packages and installing manually, probably with something like opkg -i <package_file>.

If you're not using the exact same hardware, you'll need to get packages that match the hardware...

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
Vern

Can anyone decipher what my problem is?
I've posted this question in the forum's related to this project
without any reply.

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

Jason
