wireless adaptor setup.

[professor_jonny]

Is it possible to add the ability to setup the Microsoft mn740 wireless adaptor from XblastOS?

Maybe if there is other similar adaptors that we could possibly set them up from running a script in XblastOS

I have no idea if there is a network API that could be used to configure such device. Going through the web interface is pretty much a non-possibility for XBlast OS. If there is such API, maybe the network stack, lwIP, can be utilized to talk to it. I don't know.

I know some have the ability to be controlled via telnet or upload a config file via http, as I use this feature my self at work.

But I would guess their config would be manufacture/ device specific, as I know that is the case with the draytek routers.

If one or two devices were supported that was readly available and suitable that we could config easy via telnet or upload of a config file via http that would be awesome

from what I believe there is a special microsoft broadcast packet/frame that configures this device from the xboxdash. I guess capturing these packets with wireshark while configuring the device from the dash might reveal how it works.

some more info here: https://gist.github.com/CodeAsm/da41d6914915c0e070157693abddb230 https://web.archive.org/web/20080210032307/https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/connect/msmn740.htm

The device is a D-Link DGL-3420 with custom firmware by microsoft.

There is no webpage or telnet but you can enable one from crossflashing it with dlink firmware.

As an extension would it be possible to extend this protocol and create a plugin for ddwrt or openwrt to configure newer devices and newer features from xblast os ?

[psyko_chewbacca NA]

Nice to have those reference.

Configuring that adapter is a feature that will require expanding network capabilities in XBlast OS. Without having look too much into it, I'm fairly confident that LwIP, the network stack XBlast OS uses, is up to the task.

I'm not sure what you're talking about DD-WRT and OpenWRT. Are you talking about changing router settings from XBlast OS?

[professor_jonny]

Yes if it were possible to create a plugin for DD-WRT etc to work on this same protocol we could configure the router from the Microsoft dash / XblastOS

[psyko_chewbacca NA]

I'm sure there is open documentation on interfacing with DD-WRT/OpenWRT but this type of stuff is not really relevant for XBlast OS. Nice to have but not that relevant. Also, it would probably need constant maintenance to keep the interface up to date with router's firmware changes.
