Hacking the D-Link Wireless Media System

Another work in progress, how do you think a person who suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder functions in today's society? By making sure that there are always too many things going on at one time. This allows them to shift their attention to the next thing (think circular queues). It's not the easiest thing to do but it allows us to be productive.

D-Link has several wireless media players that are Linux based. They keep the GPL code on the FTP site.

DSM-120 - Wireless streaming music player.
DSM-320 - Wireless Media Player (video and music)
DSM-320RD - Wireless Media Player includes a DVD player and a built-in 5-in-1 card reader.
DSM-510 - Wireless HD Media Player includes a USB 2.0 port in the front panel for memory stick or disk drives.
DSM-520 - Wireless HD Media Player includes a USB 2.0 port in the front panel for memory stick or disk drives.

I hope to have the hardware spec.s here so that we can figure out how to build a Linux distribution for the D-Link products listed below.
