It seems as though you can put openwrt on a wide variety of wifi devices.. provided there is enough flash ram and mem etc.. I just received a fairly new wireless printer pretty much straight from the trash find a serial port and we’re in business.

I’m not sure if the Propeller is powerful enough for high fidelity stereo mp3 decode, but I could be wrong. What you are proposing would be perfect for making a thumbdrive sized wifi radio like some of the commercial pocket players out there, and it would be totally awesome!

The reason I went with the router is that it was cheap and the full Linux distro available for it made development considerably easier than a custom solution. For the price of the router I could get a programmer for the Propeller chip and that’s about it. :-)

@zigzagjoe: i dont think that would be feasible. there would be too much overhead and probably not enough throughput for the music, even if you could find a wifi module that interfaced to the avr at reasonable speed (ie. over spi).

(i wonder if that propeller chip might be better suited, though)
