You have 2 choices on the remote.
1. Either plugin in your own USB receiver and use it like any other Myth box.
2. Use a learning remote (like a Harmony) and record enough key
presses (around 60 probably) and map them to your remote and a
.lircrc.
I used approach 2, since I wanted to be able to use my Harmony 670 AND
my AppleTV remote.
The wifi is definitely fast enough for SD. That is all I use here and
I use it with 802.11g.
You just need a USB based:
1. Mouse
2. Keyboard
3. USB hub (powered)
Though, I am not certain you might be able to do it all just via the
telnet interface. I can't remember if I actually needed the usb
keyboard at all.
I think you do need the mouse to run an install and choose all the
options though. Certainly easier with it.
HTH,
Dave
