Title: Supported/Recommended Wireless NICs
Post by: trymes on Tuesday 10 July 2012, 05:13:47 am
I am looking to build an Endian system with a Wireless Blue zone, and I am wondering what NICs are supported out of the box.

For testing purposes, I installed a system with a Ralink RT2870 USB device, but that does not seem to be seen by endian. It does show up in 'lsusb'.

The built-in Broadcom BCM4312 is also not seen, but shows up in 'lspci'.

Obviously, both of these devices aren't exactly the best choice out there, but before I go and invest in a new NIC, I would like to know it will work well and get the job done.

Any suggestions?

Tom

Have you looked to check what network chips are supported by the kernel version?
How are you planning to overcome the lack of wireless configuration interface, complete manual configuration?
