For olpc development, having network connectivity is a big advantage. Since the current stream software development images do not yet contain a wireless driver, it might be the best solution to use USB ethernet adaptors.

Since it might be difficult to find a USB ethernet adapter that works "out of the box", let's list devices that are known working here.

The standard image currently contains a driver for the AX8817X chipset (please confirm, this is what my research suggests.) So in theory, these devices should be compatible:

  • D-Link DUB-E100 - please confirm that this is working
  • D-Link DUN-E100 - please confirm that this is working
  • LinkSys USB200M - please confirm that this is working
  • NetGear FA120 - please confirm that this is working
  • SMC 2209USB/ETH - please confirm that this is working
