Hop!
Now that your system is Up and runing, it is time to add some video broadcasting, the wr703n can handle an USB Webcam with uvc driver.
I choose this one :

The logitech pro 9000, it is able to handle HD 720 (low rate...) and has a really good sensibility (was a little amazed...).
I removed all the plastic to keep only the pcb which is carrying the sensor.
On the wr703n :
note that the wr703n has to have an internet access (ethernet over home box).
then time to do some install...
plug the usb webcam in
and run
Open a browser at http://192.168.1.51:8080?action=stream or http://192.168.1.52:8080?action=stream (wifi)
and you should see what is streamed out of the webcam.
You can also use VLC.
if you want to change the framerate and or the resolution, edit /etc/config/mjpg-streamer
Next step, make the GCS able to stream the video in the PFD, should be pretty easy to change from camera to ip stream.
