I'm working on a home cloud and the goal is a zero-config box that Just Works (TM).
I know that some of the users won't have physical access to a ethernet port at a convenient location, so I'd like to make it possible for them to simply plug the box into their router, wait for a green light, and then move it over next to their TV. Is anyone aware of some sort of UPnP or PMP spec that would allow me to retrieve the WiFi password if I'm wired in? The current workaround is that they plug it into their router, access the activation site on their phone, and type the friendly-id (i.e. happy hippo 881) on the bottom of the box, and then enter in their username and password, but I feel like that's too many steps for lazy people.
