This is a little off-topic, but I have wireless in Plan9 with a
OpenWrt router like
this one: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n
It has a client mode. You can configure your wireless network with a
web browser, and once it is configured you don't need to do anything,
at every boot you will have the router connected to your wireless
network.
>From the Plan9 side you only need an Ethernet and ip/ipconfig. It can
be configured also via ssh but you need more skills.

I would absolutely love to do this. Can you help me through it?
P.S.: I am a complete noob.
Best Regards,

i'm fairly sure i have a working-but-not-finished driver for the marvell
liberatas (olpc, and a few external devices, only 802.11g) in my contrib.
no encryption or anything fancy but enough to load plan9 over it.

There is no usb wifi suppotrt in plan9 (unless you know different).
Surfing around I found a candidate for a reasonable well documented
device if anyone has the time and enthusism.
The RT2571w - a PDF of a datasheet giving register level programming is
on the net, and there is a bare metal embedded driver which might
be a fair option for example code (better than the Linux driver i suspect).

At least there is this much info.
