Topic: USB Wi-Fi Adapter
I'm trying to use a Chumby with a USB Wi-Fi adapter (the internal Wi-Fi is disabled; this is a hacked Botball Chumby). My USB Ethernet adapter works fine following the instructions on the wiki, but I have not found any similar instructions for a Wi-Fi adapter. The model is a D-Link WUA-1340, and I'm pretty sure it uses the rt73 chipset, which should be supported on the Chumby from what I've read.
What I'm doing now is inserting the adapter, turning on the Chumby, and running the start_control_panel script. The Control Panel does not see any networks, and the MAC address of the NIC shows up as all 0's.
My Chumby's boot scripts are heavily modified by the Botball people, so it's quite possible that some standard Chumby driver or script which the adapter needs aren't being loaded. If there's a specific command that the default Chumby boot scripts call that is needed, does anyone know what that is?
Any help would be appreciated. (And if possible, n00b-friendly advice would good... I'm not particularly familiar with Linux.)
Thanks.
