Gah. Someone pointed out to me that I goofed on the micro-URLization. Here's the *correct* tinyurl: http://tinyurl.com/l4guh9r
And, just to be on the safe side, the not-tiny URL, stripped of the unnecessary extra stuff sites love to throw on: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833389004 Sadly, in the interim, they've bumped the price a penny, and there's now $4.99 in S&H. (Or I read the page wrong -- always possible. I'd ordered several things together, so I wasn't paying as much attention to S&H as I might have normally.) -Ken On 2014-03-16 08:36, virgins...@vfemail.net wrote: > I'm looking for a "Linux-friendly" 802.11n (Wireless N) USB adapter. > By > "Linux-friendly", I mean I'm looking for one that will work with > in-kernel drivers (no separate module to compile & install), without > funky compatability layers (like NDIS wrapper), doesn't require extra > firmware, and is free/open source. Funny you should ask. I was asking myself *the exact same question* last week. I bought myself one of these: http://hardkernel.com/main/main.php . And, while it does come pre-loaded with Ubuntu, I wasn't taking bets on proprietary drivers, etc., making the transition to ARM-land. I Googled around, to no (real) avail, and finally decided to take the plunge with the cheapest one I could find on NewEgg: . (My rationalization being two-fold: it was cheap, so no huge loss if it didn't work, and "cheap" usually means "commoditized," so I was hoping it it would be a common, developed-for chipset.) I plugged it in, and lo! Immediately recognized. Very shortly thereafter, I was online. Until I saw your e-mail, though, I was content enough that it was working to not delve into whether I'd found the holy grail, or merely a reasonable facsimile. However, I just looked at my modules, and it's using "usbnet" and "smsc95xx", both of which are in the stock Linux kernel, so I think it's the way to fly. $9.99 and free shipping, and it's yours. -Ken P.S. Of course, I make no guarantees as to whether or not it works for *YOU*, but it seems like a decent choice. Make sure you have smsc95xx.ko, and you're probably safe. Likewise, thus-far I've only used it in the same room as the WAP, so I can't swear as to its throughput, range, etc. </weaselly worded disclaimer> _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
