Feels like this could be related.
In that case it means that you need 7.7.2 or later firmware if you like
to "downgrade" a UE Smart Radio to a Squeezebox.
The command
Code:
--------------------
cat /proc/cpuinfo
--------------------
on my Radios's lists two rows at the end of the output saying:
Code:
--------------------
Hardware : Logitech MX25 Baby Board
Revision : 0005
--------------------
If anyone have a UE Smart Radio is willing to try to run cat
/proc/cpuinfo and see what Revision it reports we can confirm it.
If it says 7, that's probably a fairly strong indication that the above
mentioned firmware changes is needed to make the firmware work properly,
which means you need 7.7.2 or later firmware.
