[ts-7000] Re: Recommendations for USB Wifi solutions wanted

["Blair" <>]

WOOT!  I bought one of these puppies from Amazon:

StarBase USB 2.0 Wireless LAN 802.11g High Gain WiFi Adapter with 9dBi Dipole 
Antenna

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002C79BU4/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B002S8RDAC&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=14H5PYCN40CNVFMTABGA

Of course, buyer beware.  Amazon/StarBase/BlueProton got the chipset wrong.  
It's not a Realtek chipset but rather a Ralink 73 chipset.  Not a problem.  
Drivers for this are in the mainline.  It does want a firmware file which I 
found in a driver download.

But, I'm now running this thing in Ad-hoc mode and talking to it from my Mac.  
Yeah, baby!  I love it when a plan comes together.
