Re: Using SSD - experiences? Suggestions? - 7 years ago
I would have to concur, a 256GB SSD is kind of a waste on Pogoplug. I've tested a SSD and conventional 7200rpm 2.5 HD on my Pro booting off SATA and while there is a modest boost from the SSD, it's not enough to really make a difference. I do favor a small (~32GB) MSATA or M.2 SSD for a Plug which is used for GUI type high memory needs (w/ swap file) non-file sharing duties as this helby LeggoMyEggo - Debian
Re: Lenovo Iomega ix2 Network Storage 2-Bay - 7 years ago
Must be wishful thinking on my part, the IX2-dl is available new for $60.00 shipped on Amazon. It's got the 1.6Ghz processor and 256MB of RAM. No USB 3.0 or ESATA though. But otherwise would make a pretty nicely performing cheap Debian Server and 2 bay NAS. Did I say it's $60 shipped? That's cheaper than a Raspberry Pi with two external enclosures if that is any measure. Edby LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic

Re: Linux Kernel 4.0 (FDT) and 3.16 (non-FDT) Kirkwood package and rootfs - 7 years ago
Note on an observed issue, I was able to compile this driver https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au on a Pogoplug V4-A3 for use with a Edimax EW-7811UTC AC600 adapter in Debian 3.18.5 but for some reason it won't compile once I upgraded to 4.0 both with tld-1 and tld-2.

Did you try this https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au ? This should work if you change the CONFIG_PLATFORM section in Makefile i386=y to i386=n and ARM_Rpi=y from ARM_Rpi=n. You need 'git' 'sudo' 'gcc' 'make' 'build-essential' and then the linux-headers for your kernel dpkg'd (edit: looks like you already have it for Oxnas). You modprobe 8812by LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic

Re: How To: Create an 802.11n AP (Access Point) w/ Debian on a Dockstar/Pogoplug/kirkwood device - 7 years ago
I think I'm gonna try combining the hostapd / Webmin install with OpenMediaVault and see how it goes. That would make a nice handy AP with pretty comprehensive file access. I would boot off of the USB flash drive and use the SATA port for faster disk access on a larger drive to archive stuff. And I would still have the USB audio adapter included so I could stream to a set of speakers fromby LeggoMyEggo - Debian

Speaking of Cantenna's, this project is absolutely over the top: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51OgiZw0Zjc. Using the Pro's built-in wifi adapter (which has two antenna inputs) is very doable with this design. Or you could use his complete setup (wifi adapter included) with the V4 or E02.

You could also put an antenna on the front (LED side) although the way in which the shoe (support) attaches to the enclosure might present some interference issues. I believe the rule of thumb is the antennas should be separated by at least 6 inches (15 cm) so that would be about right. Then it wouby LeggoMyEggo - Debian
