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.

By far not all USB ethernet adapters found e.g., on eBay work "out of the box" with the OLPC (especially the cheap USB 1.1 ones), so 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
