README.Debian for wmaloader
===========================

Steve McIntyre, 2005/01/20

Configuration
-------------

To use wmaloader, specify the location of your boot image and the
network interface you want to bind to in /etc/default/wmaloader. The
CD that came with the wma11b contains the standard firmware image in
the file

 /Program Files/Linksys Wireless-B Media Adapter/bootimg/squishguava

wmamp (see below) will also work; at least it does for me!

More information on using the wma11b with Linux
-----------------------------------------------

There is plenty of information about how to drive the wma11b using
Free Software on the web:

* Andy Wild's site (including the wmaloader upstream) at
  http://www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/~acw43/projects/wma11b/ gives a lot
  more information about the hardware, and suggestions on what you can
  do with it.

* http://www.turtlehead.co.uk/section/wma11b/ describes wmamp, an
  iTunes client that will run on the wma11b instead of the original
  application that needs the proprietary Windows-based music
  server. wmamp is what I use on my own wma11b, and I'm planning on
  extending it to add more features shortly. For now, download the
  latest stable version of the image from
  http://www.turtlehead.co.uk/downloads/Wmamp-0.3.zip

* daapd is a Free iTunes-compatible server that is also packaged in
  Debian, allowing you to serve up MP3 and AAC audio to your wma11b
  from any server on the network.
