Topic: Chumby one-Replacing internal wifi card with other card

What wifi chipsets are supported on the chumby one?

My signal strength is very low and I'd like to either swap it out with a zydas 1211b (atheros 5524)

or

as a last resort - how do I add an an rpsma adapter to the internal wifi card (or buy a compatable one with it already solered so I can run it to the outside of the case)

Thanks

I think the drivers are still there for the zd1211 (the prototype "Foo" and "Katamari" chumbys used them), but I'm there may be some other effort to get them to work.

Hello Believe it or not I got a lg tv 802.11 wireless adapter to run on my infocast/chumby by following this web page.
my adapter was based on the ralink rt3070.
