I'd like to know how you got on.

I've managed to find a DLink DIR-615 D2 and am busy collecting the tools I need. My idea is the same. Pi + router + battery. I shall report back with results.

I hope someone can help me tonight. I have followed the instructions for a PirateBox on a Raspberry Pi and I used the manual install instructions because the image wasn't working for me.

I'm new to Linux but I'm reasonably certain that everything works OK, but the wireless isn't broadcasting. To repeat, I think everything installed and updated alright, I just need the TP-LINK TL-WN722N to act as an access point.

I would really appreciate any help I can get quickly, because I'm supposed to give a presentation regarding Pirate Box and its derivatives on Monday morning, and I would prefer to have a working prototype.

ehm yes. lol. That is quite soon.

What RPi do you have?
What was the issue with the imge? I'm wondering it doesn't work? What was the issue?
can you post the output of

(please place a sudo in front of every command)
  iwconfig
  ifconfig
  ps ax
  dmesg | tail -n 20

That I get an idea what is up with your box

I got the TL-WN725N USB-stub to work, with a few edits.

From these instructions, steps 5 and 6 only:
[www.raspberrypi.org]

..rebuild the binary for hostapd, then change the "driver=" line in /opt/piratebox/conf/hostapd.conf to the specified driver.

Works fine after that; main challenge I'm facing now is changing to USB storage to avoid r/w wear and storage limits on the sd card..

Hey, I got the TL-WN725N to work after following steps 5/6 from these instructions:
[www.raspberrypi.org]

Rebuilding the hostapd binary and replacing the one on the rpi *after* installing it the usual way, then changing the specified driver (but not the other suggested options) in step 6, worked just fine.

Good luck!

I'm wondering, because the image is online since July 2013 and downloaded more then 400 times. I assume there would be more feedback of not working images, if it is a problem in the file

my md5sum:

matze@anoia /tmp $ md5sum 2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian.img
bad7d5dc3203fae94926f4a01b063e87  2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian.img

Maybe a speciality with Win32diskImager or SDformarter?

Perhaps, don't know,

Manual installation went ok. It works on an ALFA NEH usb dongle , a bit slowly (chat) but ok.

I also want to implement it as a kind of service on a mesh network.

Thanks

Mesh usually won't work well with USB Dongles. You have to decide either use p2p or ap mode on USB-wifi dongles... I know that is really crap :/ - the driver-support is not very well.

I'm still curious about the image file. I have to recreate once in the next weeks for 1.0, so I will reinvestigate this issue soon

Also any clean way to shutdown? Maybe from the admin web interface?

To everyone still searc for a "clean shutdown" I found and use this:RaspberryPi shutdown button

Easy and works.

good luck

Every time i do:
/opt/piratebox/bin/install_piratebox.sh /opt/piratebox/conf/piratebox.conf station_cnt

i can see the connected clients at the end of the page, but it no seems to refresh or restart after a reboot.

What to look?
