Wireless/USB

[dante]

Dear 9fronters,

Here I am again, bothering you with another beginner's question.

According to the FQAs:
- https://code.google.com/p/plan9front/wiki/fqa6#6.2.2.1.3_-_iwl
- https://code.google.com/p/plan9front/wiki/fqa6#6.2.2.1.4_-_rt2860
9front supports some major wireless chipsets over PCI.

Is there any chance of using USB dongles with similar chipsets?

Thanks again!
Dante

Look under the Wifi section for a list of what has already been
verified to work.

I believe the Ralink RT2860 listed there is a USB adapter but I
was not able to get confirmation from the person who reported it
working.

I think that it's listed under mini-PCI.
I would like to know if the USB driver is capable of driving a WiFi 
dongle at all...

Thanks!
