I've taken a look at a couple of devices, but I've only had time to get far enough to find that usbd seems to have trouble reading the ID information out of both of the units I've tried. I don't see any time coming up soon when I'll be able to spend on it.

Use an ESP01 (esp8266)+USB-to-serial for a WiFi interface, p= ossibly exposing the WiFi module's interface (AT commands and channels)= as a 9P fs.

It's most suited for much smaller devices that wouldn't be able to run a linux kernel themselves.

Iogear GWU627 802.11n connect ethernet port to GWU627 HTTP management interface requires Javascript. Managed to program it using Inferno's charon browser, which supports ecmascript 1.0. Vonets VAP11G 802.11g connect ethernet port to VAP11G Requires a proprietary Windows program (ships with the device) to program its settings before using it for the first time. sl From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Mime-Version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Mail 7.3 \(1878.6\)) From: California Electric In-Reply-To: <16F304EA-92EF-4C8F-8584-8149CA56CC66@9srv.net> Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2016 17:49:48 -0800 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message-Id: <9A20A758-0B23-418A-AB5E-3396EEC96348@gmail.com> References: <16F304EA-92EF-4C8F-8584-8149CA56CC66@9srv.net> To: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans@9fans.net> Subject: Re: [9fans] Wireless on the Pi?
