Most likely.
If its Linux compatible and USB 2.0 (high speed certified [Thanks Gruso]) then it could work (with drivers)..

I expect my USB-Ethernet dongle to work, as it works fine on both x86 and Beagleboard. Driver is in the standard kernel.org kernel. That should keep me going until wi-fi gets good. In the other thread I asked about a mailing list for contributing hackers, I'll ask it here too in case it gets overlooked in either long thread!

That does work. Some devs (like vimacs) do use that for developing, as they don't have a breakout box

So ... Looks good!

I`m not sure if i`d want to carry it around too much, As it is a pretty heavy device.

Spec sheet says it is (23 kg), So you may want to look for something a little bit lighter.

Linux users seem to like these, funnily enough:

They messed up the conversion, .8 oz is 23g, not kg. So its not that heavy.


edit, unless that was sarcasm

I calculate this device's density at about 256 g/cm[sup]3[/sup]. I wonder what it's made of.

Haha nice find Trooper, definatly quite hefty for a Usb-Lan adapter!

Well, you know the Germans always make good stuff. :lol:

Are you getting this, camera guy?

 

[intense_mc]

That Cisco one is as good as any other cheapo $5 one though right? Or are there some specs that I need to take into consideration?

Two biggies

• USB 2.0
• Linux has a driver for it

[*]Linux has a driver for it

Is that down to the adaptor or the Pandora?

Want to be sure before I buy one of these £5 ones. £30 is a little too steep for me but if it's the only way to go...

The adapter. What's the exact brand and model of the adapter?

This is all the specs I got.
