What hardware are you using on the "a" to connect to the internet? Are you by any chance using a DM9601 based ethernet adapter? Those cause a kernel panic as soon as you start using bandwidth: (viewtopic.php?f=28&t=131767)

Re: Raspberry PI 2 Internet Radio
I have a Raspberry pi B2 radio sitting by my bed that wakes me up every morning with Radio 4. It simply uses "mpd" (Music Player Daemon) and "mpc" with a Python front end. To get the direct URL to play I got the link to the playlist from the browser then "wget the_url " and inside the file that you ...

Re: Adding ethernet to Raspberry PI Zero
It would appear that the Chinese USB+Ethernet work better with Jessie, but still hit and miss what you will actually receive, caveat emptor ;) The problem is in the Pi's non-mainline dwc_otg driver, rather than the tried & tested & tested some more mainline driver for the dm9601 ethernet. Use the m...

Re: Boot Sound
I'm in the same boat - except that I want to ensure that there is no sound output until the boot is done and I am ready to output the sounds I want to hear. What I see is that while the pi is booting static/buzzing audio is generated both to the audio jack and on the USB sound card. I'd like it to b...

Yes please.
As detailed above I used the jgarff fork of rpi_ws281x - and with the card in a B or B+ it worked and on a B2 it didn't.

Re: What are the uses of a breadboard with Raspberry Pi?
They come in 40's normally. If you search for "dupont cables" you can find them very cheaply on ebay and other places (e.g.99p or less delivered from china) - they're so cheap that there's little point looking for smaller numbers.

Re: What are the uses of a breadboard with Raspberry Pi?
It's worth having some of each. M->M, F->M, F->F.
From Pi to breadboard you want F->M, but from breadboard to other places on the breadboard you need M->M. F->F are, for example, for when you need to connect from pins on PI to Pins on other boards.
However many you have you always need more.
