Hello all,

I'm having some problems running my Duet with Ubuntu 8.04.1 and
SqueezeCenter 7.2 in an "all-wireless" configuration (server wireless
signal strength = 89-91%, Receiver in same room as router so estimated
>95% signal strength).

Firstly, and most importantly, I have just performed a hardware reset
on both the Controller and Receiver after having problems connecting
everything together in wi-fi land. Everything now appears to be seeing
everything else, but I'm only getting 10-30 seconds of flac playback
before the audio stream grinds to a halt.
At this point the Ubuntu System Monitor continues to show a network
transmission rate of around 40KiB/s even though the audio output of the
Receiver is depressingly sporadic (<1s bursts every 5-10 seconds) and I
have no other programs running in Ubuntu. This reported network traffic
continues for about 30 seconds after pausing the audio playback. The
problem occurs whether I use the Controller or the SC web GUI to
initiate playback, however 256kbps CBR mp3's seem to play fine.
I will eventually be getting a Homeplug/Powerline system, which should
provide a more reliable connection between server and Receiver, but I
was previously running the Duet with a WinXP system and SqueezeCenter
7.1 with no problems.
Can anyone shed any light as to why I could be seeing this issue?

Secondly, I have the Ubuntu GUI disabled by default on startup to
reduce boot-up time (as per 'this thread'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52840&page=2)).
However, the wi-fi connection doesn't appear to connect unless I load
the GUI, which obviously defeats the point. Is there any way of fixing
this, or should I just live with it until I get my Homeplugs?

Any help gratefully appreciated!
