Linksys installation turned out to be very unstable (complete freeze after about 36 hours from boot) and final hit was when wvieweather's archive database was corrupted.

Upgraded wvieweather to version 5.20.2 on my old Fujitsu Silverline at least for now until I can sort out the problems with the NSLU2 box.

Wviewweather server is now upgraded to version 5.20.2.
This allows for Solar Radiation and UV-index values reported to Wunderground as well.
