I don't really know of a mobile device that has this chip, though I know it's quite easy to find them as USB dongles. Single board computers could probably use the WiFi dongle directly. As for finding what a mobile device uses, the best way is still to look at the kernel defconfig. -- Paul Kocialkowski, Replicant developer Replicant is a fully free Android distribution Website: http://www.replicant.us Wiki/Tracker: http://redmine.replicant.us _______________________________________________ Replicant mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/replicant
