So, I just assimilated another hardware device. I managed to get a wireless Hauppauge media mvp up and running. It is quite nice - it provides live television, replayTV, Weather, MP3, MPEG2, etc. etc. Of course it runs Linux and it boots from a Linux machine. It needs a DHCP server and a TFTP server (not necessarily on the same machine, a hardware DHCP router is fine). Nasty thing is that the TFTP server needs to listen on port 16869 AND 69. Then it requests the file "dongle.bin.ver" - "dongle.bin" and finally (over port 69) the file "dongle.bin.config". THEN it boots just fine and provides a nice GUI for entertainment.
