Hi,
I have a Bubba | Two.
Can I add a WiFi device to it?
If can, which WiFi device is adequate?
If can, which is the easiest way to do that?

Do you mean you want to make it into an access point? There is some discussion here: http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4648

Is it possible to solder a WiFi device into Bubba | Two?
I want, if possible, to get a WiFi on Bubba | Two so I get rid of UTP cable that connect now my laptop and Bubba | Two through a Switch.

I suppose that might be possible, but what's wrong with connecting one through USB?

Nothing is wrong with connecting one through a cable except it is more confortable if one uses WiFi connection. Right?Gordon wrote:I suppose that might be possible, but what's wrong with connecting one through USB?

No, he means what's wrong with using a USB wifi device? Why do you specifically want to solder something onto the B2?

Oh, sorry for misunderstanding.RandomUsername wrote:No, he means what's wrong with using a USB wifi device? Why do you specifically want to solder something onto the B2?
So, Ralink USB Wifi adapters are adequate for this purpose?
Or maybe there is newer USB WiFi adapter out there that one can uses with Bubba | Two?

Re: Add a WiFi device to a Bubba | Two?
You want a dongle that supports 'master' mode so you can make the B2 an access point. Known dongles that do that use Ralink's RT5370 and RT5372 chip. There are others, such as the Edimax Nano (tutorial for Pi in that link), but I've never seen a comprehensive list that contains them all. I have in fact not even seen a list of brands that use the Ralink chip.
