Hi Justin, May you please provide an answer to my query also. I wish to install dragonfly but my wireless is not supported(Realtek RTL8191SEVB). I do not have a wired connection either. So if i buy a USB wireless ethernet will that work. Is there something which I need to take care of in that case? Please respond.
