Topic: USB wireless adaptor

I am playing around modifying one of my Infocast I3.5. I know there is a compatible wireless USB adapter that works out of the box.

Does anyone have one with an external antennae that they want to part with or know where one might purchase one?

Thanks
Larry

I can't seem to find the information to use a USB for Ethernet Connection. I have tried a China one but it does not recognize it. It seems like there were a few USB ethernet adapters that worked after rebooting. ??

Re: USB wireless adaptor

demarks51, is this the page you were looking for: http://wiki.chumby.com/index.php?title= … d_Ethernet

Admittedly, this talks about a wired connection using a Linksys USB200M adapter, and not a wireless adapter that infocastme seems to be trying to find. I can confirm that the Linksys adapter works quite well; I have four of them in use today keeping all of the Chumbys in my collection humming along just fine. This is much more reliable than the wireless adapter built into the Chumby, at least when it comes to the wireless network I am running in my home.
