yeah man, with two uarts onboard its a dead cert qualification for  
putting WLAN-MIDI together.

MidiShare has had a net-server implementation for years.  As soon as I  
get my Fonera UARTs sorted out and doing MIDI I/O, it'll be a matter  
of simply putting MidiShare onboard with a default startup config and  
off we go ..

But what I'm also interested in is of course the MIDI-Over-Network and  
Rendezvous auto-config features of OSX.  If I get this worked out,  
then the idea of having a soft-synth running on the iPhone, controlled  
by a MIDI keyboard is then a matter of cream and pie ..
