Title: WiFi + Storage?
Post by: Anonymous on February 09, 2004, 02:07:06 pm

Has anyone played around with this card yet:

Seems like anything that can give you two cards in one would be great.  Even if the memory could be more.

My 5500 shows up in 2 days!

No Linux!  Someone will have to write a special driver to handle wifi+storage at the same time.

Whoops, I only looked int he forum, found the same thing in the others.  I did read they should eventually have it working, but who knows when?

The other thing that I read somewhere is that even if you could get a Linux driver for this card, that the card only operates in one mode at a time.  That is, to use the wireless, you\'d have to unmount the memory, and same vice-versa.

That wouldn\'t bother me so much.  I plan on keeping the OS over on the SD card, so this would be used for more \'offline\' items, like music.
