Would Usb-Ethernet Work?


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

:ph34r:

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:

ps. http://pandorawiki.org/USB_compatibility_list (still pretty bare, but a good starting point. Feel free to add your own stuff when you test it. :))

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.

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

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?
