That's more or less what Hugo did when our airports turned up. As you say, the software installed on the ickle PC inside the box doesn't allow the units to peer with eachother.

What Hugo did for the MX5 was to install one of the airports on the parcel shelf and run some UTP to the empeg unit.

We then took the WaveLan PCMCIA card out of the other airport and installed it in a laptop, which we can then run emplode on. The laptop's other PCMCIA network connection is connected to our office network, which allows us to drag and drop music from our network onto the empeg in the car.

Alternatively, you could probably get a PCI PCMCIA adapter card, and plug it directly into a Linux box, giving you full-blown routing capabilities.
