Sorry for the delay in replying. Yes it's wired to the WRT54GS and the TV / Rasbmc PI box / PS3 all work fine wired.

Obviously the wifi adapter is there, it's the TL-WN722N. ifconfig isn't bringing up anything because it's not connected to any network, and lsusb returns:

Re: USB storage, How on current image (8/6/14)
Hi ,
Got it working. I was using the ln -s command wrong (as I said I am no linux guru). Here is my setup - note I only store files the user uploads to piratebox on the usb stick (not forum and chat data):
The /etc/fstab file has an entry like:
UUID=xxxx-xxxx /mnt/usbdrive vfat user,exec,uid=0,gid=0,rw,umask=000 0 0
Then in /opt/piratebox/share I linked Shared to /mnt/usbdrive with the command
ln -s /opt/piratebox/share/Shared /mnt/usbdrive
I moved the original Shared folder first so as to have a backup and then I copied all the .txt files into my new Shared folder (i.e. my usb drive)/
Hope this helps someone,
john

Is there an Easy way to ADD usb-storage?
Dear members,
I have been reading about changing the location of the usb-storage.
But is it possible to add a location.
I already have added my 32GB fat32 usb stick to fstab. But how can I add this to what is already Shared?
Or is this not what was foreseen with the piratebox?
TIA

Re: 'enable piratebox' doesn't seem to work
I see, I guess you have to find yourself some kind of driver, I guess other people tried to get this to work on a RPi, so you could possibly find something on google or similar, I did a quick look and there was some guy who seemed to have figured it out...
So, I wish you the best possible luck with this one - if nothing else helps, invest in a wifi dongle that is confirmed to work^^
Sorry that I can't help you more specifically here :-/

Re: How to erase files on Home/ browse files?
Normally yes, you would do that via SSH.
BUT: If you want to do something and be creative, build yourself a web interface to do that (maybe password protected^^)
I'm not that much into the whole project, but I guess it's a main aspect that files cannot be deleted easily (by normal users), as this could limit the freedom of users... but that's just my guess. I regularly look over the files, sort them somewhat, remove broken ones etc....

Re: Is there an Easy way to ADD usb-storage?
You mean like a subdirectory in the Shared directory? Have the Shared directory on one USB stick and the subfolder on another one? You could achieve that with symlinks I guess... not sure if it works with fat32 though

Re: Shutdown the Pi(rate) Box
You could call a python or perl script to do that, I think - but protect it somehow ;-)

Hello,
I noted that the sed command line had not modified the piratebox.conf file, despite the fact that I pasted it from your last post. However, manually editing the file does not change anything. Piratebox still does not start after reboot.
