WLAN on DC01

[admin]

Following WLAN adapters have been tested with DC01.

• D-Link DWA-131
• D-Link DWL-G122
• SMC EZ Connect "g" (SMCWUSB-G)

As WLAN support on 2.3.31.14 kernel is very limited on ARM, please stick to one of these adapters, others will hardly work.

I had laying arround a Xtreamer WLAN Stick USB with Realtek RTL8191SU Chip
Standards
IEEE 802.11n (draft 2.0), IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b, Cisco CCX support, CSMA/CA with ACK

I plugged it, and it worked out of the box with WPA/WPA2!!!

I put the DC01 downstairs in the basement even there the datarate was excellent! (216 MBit/s Fritzbox)

Maybe this helps someone.
