My brother has asked if I could have a look into tiny powered USB hubs and tiny USB WiFi adapters for his RPi - he isn't (yet) much into Linux and would prefer something that *just works* (ie no need to download kernel drivers, firmwares, etc... just plug in and configure). Ordinarily this wouldn't necessarily be a big problem, but with the added ARMness of the RPi, and the disparity between what works on the different architecture's kernels, this could potentially make things a bit more awkward. Add to that the fact that I don't have an RPi to play with! :D Now, I have found one "tiny" USB adapter which works, but requires a bit of messing around (which he's not really happy doing). As far as the powered hubs are concerned, I really haven't a clue. I was under the impression that a powered USB hub was a powered USB hub - I didn't know there was a real difference between them. Anyone got any thoughts or comments? Cheers. Grant. :) -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
