Re: anybody knows of a mifi i can run linux on ?
A real story: In the Palestinian zoo, they didn't have a zebra, and they wanted one, So they took a donkey, and drew stripes on it with paint. Why am i telling this story, because i wanted a MIFI, and i got 10 replies telling me to take a wireless router and add a 3g dongle. and that reminded me about the donkey with painted stripes. no offense but, maybe this is because people are too eager to help but a wireless router is not built with small size, low battery consumption and many other consideration a mifi does. do you thing i can sell a wireless router + 3g dongle + battery as a product ? people will laugh at me and i will be out of business. so thanks for your help, but if you know of a MIFI I can put some kind of Linux on, please let me know Thanks Erez (and again, no offense meant) ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: anybody knows of a mifi i can run linux on ?
Hi Erez, Your original email was pretty vague: I am looking for a Mifi (i.e. cellular wifi) router which i can run linux on. So I'm not sure why you are surprised with the responses. I interpreted that as you wanting something relatively small that runs linux and can connect to cellular networks. You might want to be a little more specific with what you want if you want more specific responses. Here is another suggestion (again, it depends on why you want to run linux on it). Get a cheap android phone. It runs linux (sort of) and can act as a router. Hope that helps :) Jason On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 5:28 PM, Erez D erez0...@gmail.com wrote: A real story: In the Palestinian zoo, they didn't have a zebra, and they wanted one, So they took a donkey, and drew stripes on it with paint.

Hope that helps :) This suggestion is a lot better, however I would still preffer a mifi, as it is cheaper, and exactly does what i want, nothing more, nothing less ( i do not need the screen, audio, computing power, etc, ) Thanks for your help, Erez. btw, did i made anybody smile with the true story of the zebra ?
