I want to control my Voyage mpd on an Intel NUC n2820 via bluetooth
instead of the usual
wi-fi or wired LAN interface. The reason is because I want to use it in
a work environment situation
where I can't plug into wired lan for policy reasons and all my attempts
to get the NUC
iwlwifi to work have failed (I think the hardware for the wireless in
the NUC is too new
to be well supported at only kernel 3.10 that the Voyage MPD 0.9.2 comes
with).
I tried to download the 7260 latest firmware file (iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode)
into the NUC
/lib/firmware dir, the modules all load but edits I make to
/etc/network/interfaces
never get the interface to come up.
So my next idea is to use bluetooth to the tablet I want to use as the
client (using mpdroid on the tablet).
Is this very doable or not? Or if there's a way to get the NUC
DN2820FYK to work on the iwlwifi
so the tablet could control it via wifi that would be good too. Maybe
somewhere there's a
newer kernel for the Voyage MPD that supports the NUC better?

====================================================
Update, I noticed a much newer kernel here:
http://mirror.voyage.hk/dists/experimental/linux/linux-image-3.14.12-voyage_15.0-1_i386.deb
I installed that :
remountrw
dpkg -i ./linux-image-3.14.12-voyage_15.0-1_i386.deb
rebooted and now the 'ifup wlan0' works fine:
#> ip addr
wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP qlen 1000
