Wireless LAN possible? DirecTV,Hughes-SD-DVR40,Sleeper1.01,3.1.1c

[slimjimfatboy]

I have my TIVO series2 working great with Sleeper1.01 and a WIRED LAN (Linksys USB200M) and am wondering if it is possible to go wireless?

I have an old WUSB11 (perhaps version 1.0, FCC-ID 06M-WUSB11, model WUSB11).

It seems like most of the WLAN discussion is on newer kernels and grepping for all files in the filesystem, I couldn't find any that had *wlan* in the filename.

hmmmmm......

If it's possible, where do I put in the SSID?
Would I use the pegasus driver?

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

I have a series2 DirecTV, Hughes-SD-DVR40, Sleeper1.01, 3.1.1c kernel.

You don't mention the version of Tivo software you are running. Is it 4.01b? (The kernel doesn't tell us since Sleeper used a monte system.)

In any case, I don't believe 3.x or 4.x worked with wireless directly. You should probably consider a wireless/ethernet bridge.

I'd suggest moving up to 6.2. It has several benefits including a faster UI and folders. The upgrade is documented here (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42325), and can be performed without pulling the drive.

PlainBillThat wireless script will work, but is a bit outdated. This one (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?p=238928#post238928) doesn't require an fsid and can also set up WEP security for you. It's interactive, so run it without arguments.

Thanks for the update; I've updated my cheat sheet.

PlainBillI bet you could turn that cheat sheet into a book deal. You could be the next Von Hagen. :)

No book deal. I'll turn it over to my grandson after he hacks his first TiVo - probably early next year. :)

And who the heck is Von Hagen. All Google turned up is 'BodyWorlds 3'
