Hey guys,
I´ve been lurking around in the forums for the last weeks and finally got my first PirateBox assembled on a Pi2 with the "awesome" 8188cus WiFi module. But everything has come together yesterday and it´s running fine.
Just wanted to chime in quickly regarding the support of Realtime Clocks. I put a cheap DS3231 rtc module in my setup and it works like a charm. Just had to tinker a little bit with systemd and add a "service" script to read the hwclock time at each boot and adjust the system time, but that was done quickly with some googling.
Anyway, as I mentioned I´ve got a Pi2 and some spare SD cards, so starting next week I could give a hand with testing images and stuff if you need a hand. I don´t have as much free time for tinkering with stuff like the PirateBox as I´d like to, you know, work and stuff, but I´d be happy to join you guys.
