Howard, I didn't create the UI, Robin deserves all credit for that. I just compiled the program in an easily distributable Windows exe format. I agree that the UI should (and could) be much easier. I could create a Windows wizard myzelf (with the wxPerl library) but I really don't have the time to spare. I also figure that this is really a task for the Logitech guys. I don't understand how they get away with selling the SBR as a separate product without providing a simple setup tool with it. Open Source does not mean you let your users do all the work. I can design one, though. - Start the wizard - A list of detected SBRs is displayed, select one - Q: Ethernet or Wireless Wireless: WEP or WPA? - Enter WEP/WPA key - Enter SSID Wireless/Ethernet: DHCP or manual? - Enter IP - Enter netmask - Enter gateway - Enter squeezecenter server - Save settings That wasn't so hard ;) A few days work added to the stuff Robin already did.
