So myth was working on server xena and had an old tulip 10 Mbt card to get the channel listings. It _could_ play video to the other computers in the house, but it hesitated, stuttered, and paused.
Always one to look for a $30 fix (ever notice that it can get expensive to be a CB?), I hit ebay and got me a D-Link AirPlus XtremeG DWL-G520 108Mbps PCI WiFi Card. My wireless router ia a d-link DI-624 High-Speed 2.4GHz (802.11g) Wireless 108Mbps1 Router (a lot of mark and paste here to make sure you get accurate marketing buzz). The laptop has a DWL-G650 High Speed 2.4GHz (802.11g) Wireless 108Mbps1 Cardbus Adapter. Got it? All the same manufacturer, all capable of doing the 108G conga together. The d-link literature says, my hand to god, "great for streaming video and gaming." Then I log into the router as root and set it to do the 108G stuff, reset it, and confirm that I can still use the network. Now the Myth streaming over the network is MUCH better ... but it still stutters. So my question is this. Is there anything I need to do on the Myth box and perhaps the laptop to tell _their_ d-link cards that we're now doing the 108G thing? And, yes, I have googled. But I know there are better googlers on this list. It would be nice to avoid drilling the ceiling for cat 5. My wife *likes* the Myth box just fine, especially when we don't have to fight the kids to wrestle her air time (the Friday Newshour, por exemplar) away from the kids. But every time I put time into improving it, she gets that withering "it's JUST TV" look. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
