Re: [Gumstix-users] USB Wifi dongle

[J. L. <vwy...@gm...>]

Yes there is nothing you can not do with the ALFA. Are sure it has the
same chip? I just looked online to see if I could help and what I read
is yours is a zd1211 is an SIS and zd1211b is a Zydas and most people
have to use ndiswrapper to get ad-hoc to work with that USB adapter
you listed. I would get the chip ID number and look it up. If it is
indeed the rtl8187 go to the aircrack-ng site and get the patches for
the driver and wireless stack.

The alfa for me was also plug and play at first. Granted no injection
but I just plugged it in and the overo saw it and set it up on its own
the first time. Hope this helps some.
