    USB WiFi Dongle

    Hi,

    I'm using Xtrend ET-5000 with a VIX 2.2 image. I'm wondering if I can connect a USB2 WiFi key. Obviously I need one with a Linux driver. Could someone please suggest one?


    Thanks
    Tostie

    Sorry, but 2.2 is soooooo old; my memory doesn't reach that far......
    Why not use Zeus? The 5k is fine under Zeus.

    VIX 2.2.1. Why upgrade? Does Zeus contain functionality/features for USB WiFi? Does it come with bundled drivers for USB WiFi dongles? I know the bugs and issues in VIX 2.2.1 and they do not cause me problems. Being an ex-developer I realize that one bug gets fixed and 2 more get introduced. I know my way around the v2.2.1 GUI and am happy with the stability. The bleeding-edge is called bleeding-edge for a reason. VIX Zeus came after VIX 3.x which came after VIX v2.x.


    Thanks

    Of course it's up to you what you want to use. But

    applies to all of us. And feeds are old (if they are still up) and fixes will only be in Zeus.
