I bought a bunch of these to run wireless access points on from ARM devices running Debian: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GTI-Mini-USB-802-11b-g-n-WiFi-Wireless-Adapter-Do... Work really well with hostapd. IIRC it does require a binary firmware: git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git sudo cp linux-firmware/rt28* /mnt/lib/firmware/ 'driver=nl80211' in hostapd.conf Dan On 23 April 2015 at 13:07, Craig Sanders <cas@taz.net.au> wrote:
my wifi access point (an eeepc 701) has just died, so i'm left with no wifi for my phone + tablets.
can anyone recommend a good wifi adaptor that is known to work with hostapd?
USB preferred, so i don't have to power-down to install a card.

PS: I have a Netcomm NP902n but i can't get this piece of shit to work. i remember trying to get it to work several years ago when i bought it and gave up then. i've wasted several hours on it again today and have decided to give up again and just buy a decent adaptor.
