The gadget arrived.. and of course it didn't work straight out of the box.
The documentation is not very clear, but I can summarise the current status as follows:
- It seems the driver and firmware are open source (?)
- The default setting is automatic address, and the whole thing was appearing and disappearing in the server window, with error "not in local network".. but after fixing the server adresses (I am using Netcomm ADSL modem) to something like 192.168.1.6 .. I am not sure this is correct, but it has a positive effect - I finally have in inside local network, and I managed to have the USB HD properly identified and connected to the server...
- It seems it is connected to my desktop (judging by the sound prompt) but I still can't see the icon anywhere (even after updating the driver).
So, I still have some work to do..
