[leaf-user] Hardware for LEAF-running WiFi router?
It's time to get a dedicated hackable WiFi router to replace the consumer-grade stuff I keep having to replace (while the Soekris and PCEngines boards running our LEAF firewalls just keep going.) Does this list maintain a -- list -- of hardware known to work with LEAF? I assume I'll get a PCEngines Alix board. But I'm not confident in picking a Mini-PCI WiFi card since I've seen so many discussions about working around problems. Can anybody recommend a card currently available that's working well for him/her with stock LEAF (Bering uClibc)? Until recently (latest generation of Atom processors), I trusted Intel to take Linux compatibility seriously. Can their Mini-PCI cards be trusted?

Hi. LEAF should run on any x86 PC. About WiFi - IMHO Atheros is one of best choices for Linux. 06.12.2012 19:30, Eric House пишет: It's time to get a dedicated hackable WiFi router to replace the consumer-grade stuff I keep having to replace (while the Soekris and PCEngines boards running our LEAF firewalls just keep going.)

Thanks! --Eric I use a mini-pci using an Atheors chip in a PCEngines ALIX for 802-11g. I don't do 11n. In uses ath9k. They are cheap - good enough for my purposes. http://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-WN861N-300M-Mini-PCI/dp/B0035GV6FE Victor -- LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
