prism p54 wireless usb

labels: ,
each time i tried to use this, i have had to trawl through and research quite a bit. i have just had to do so again. so i am documenting this here.

download the latest version of your softmac firmware from
http://daemonizer.de/prism54/prism54-fw/

identify what it should be called, and where the firmware needs to go.

openwrt backfire asked for /lib/firmware/isl3886usb.

alternatively, on a debian derivative, get the firmware-linux-nonfree. i don't like this, as it contains a lot of garbage, none of which i use except one single item.

openwrt internet radio

labels: , ,
Since my openwrt is on a thinclient with embedded soundcard, I don't need any extra hardware. A set of unpowered speakers are enough. Now I have a router playing internet radio stations!

It can be controlled remotely for changing stations, etc. from
- client installed on PC or Android
- web browser on any device

The how-to link below is a good start. I might add detailed instructions, if needed.
