(P.S. i know very little about linux in general, ive always been a windows guy but as i understand it mose of these devices are programmed on a mini version of linux? and if so it might not be too hard to make their operating systems interchangeable?) ~Shane i was wondering if there was someway to upload software to it to make it act much like a wireless router. or more specifically an adapter. im not using the wma11b for music, i got that covered with my laptop (and besides the interface is too slow and the device likes to glitch out). what i was hoping to do with it is reprogram it so that it would allow both the wireless and wired ethernet to be enabled simultaneously, and bridge them automatically, so that whatever is plugged into the wired ethernet gains access to whatever its connected to wirelessly.

Any details gratefully appreciated, it's making a useful doorstop at the moment (although a nice chap did send me a bootfs that made it into a Slimp3 slave - but slimserver is a bit flakey) I’d be interested in flashing it - I’d like to run CE 5.0 on it - which as an MS bloke would make it a lot more useful for me.
