Is this WiFi supported?

(1/1)

Neil Waldhauer:
I have a USB Wifi dongle.

ID 0bda:c820 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.  (lsusb output attached)



How can I tell if it has a driver under ArcaOS?

Roderick Klein:
In 2 words, sadly game over. (well 3). Currently no USB wifi dongles are supported.

I have been looking around on Google to find a USB to serial adapter. Then with a high speed serial port.

This gets SOMEWHAT closer. But is also FAR from ideal. The baudrate is to low and you would need a serial to USB converter.
Now if I could find an all in one USB device, that would be handy.

If you have a Ethernet port you can use a multimedia adapter, intended for HDR boxes and so on, most of them are N600 Dual Band, so not AX5400 speeds but quite usable, there are a few faster ones but more difficult to get hold of.
