As the subject says I need a USB adapter that works on Debian
and supports wpa-supplicant. We are finally able to get a fate
network connect here in the mountains, using a Verizon MiFi2200
connection.
The only problem is that all of my USB Wireless adapters are to old
and don't work with wpa.
A google search did not help too much. It looks like 'maybe' a
Netgear WNDA3100 or a Netgear WN111v2 would be what I want but I
don't want to get either one until I know that someone is using it
on Debian.
Thanks in advance for any/all replies.
I have an AZiO AWU254 (Ver: 1.0) adapter. From lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB
Wireless Adapter
As you can see, it uses a Ralink chipset, and it is supported by the
in-kernel Ralink driver (rt73usb - non-free firmware, in package
firmware-ralink, required). I just tested it with an AP running
WPA-PSK, and it works fine.
Mine looks like this one:
http://www.handhelditems.com/azio-80211g-54mbps-wireless-adapter-p-38837.html
but I have no idea if they're still using the same chipset ... The
page only mentions WEP, and (of course) doesn't say anything about
linux, but I don't know if the info is reliable. Caveat emptor.
Thank You Celejar!!!
That look like a winner. As I have not done the WPA before, I may
have a few questions for you when I find one.
Many, Many Thanks!
Wayne
