Daniel,

What wifi adapter were you successfully using? i have tried them all that i 
have and none of them work. :/ I will hopefully end up getting the one you 
go to work and try that.

I tried the linux driver option and none of them came up with wlan0. I also 
tried lsusb and none of them showed up as a device.

Is there a way to install the drivers/ enable them on falcon??
