Kenji, I think others are using ethernet to wifi bridges - if I were in the same position, I would too. USB wifi support probably isn't what it could be, for obvious reasons. I was using a DX Chinese wifi bridge until I realised it was beyond hope, it would shut down within five seconds of being po

Thanks for the suggestions. The keyboard + mouse work fine with Linux. In fact they work on Plan 9 together, but only for a few seconds before I get: kb: /dev/usb/ep6.1: read: i/o error kb: exiting usbotg: ep5.1 error intr 0082 usb/kb... kb: exiting Sometimes it recovers, but it's not reliabl

Hey guys, I was going to sit down and build my raspberry pi file-server today but I've just came into ownership of an Acer Revo L80. I've been given it for free because it is broken. After the usual diagnostics it looks like the RAM chip is dead >~400MB. I'm thinking this may make a good CPU/Auth

No. Use an installer, then once tinge rebooted cd /sys/src; obtype=arm mk installn. Replace arm with you architecture of choice.

Hello list! Are there any pointers or short instructions or a HOWTO or something similar on the art of cross-compiling Plan 9 from Linux? I've recently decided to start using Plan 9 and, because I am a fucking lunatic, I've decided to download the source code (from plan9.bell-labs.com) and compil

If each individually works, chances are this is power related. Make sure it has enough power (5v @ 2A should more than suffice but not all adapters marked so meet their stated rating). There are two test points on the RPi. The voltage difference between the two should be close to 5V under load.
