Usb Networking
« on: September 28, 2005, 01:55:47 pm »
I was wondering if openbsd / zaurus supports usb networking.  I have a CF Linksys wifi card, but I use wpa on my wireless router, and would prefer not to go back to wep (no wpa support in openbsd?)

Anyway I would like to create a tcp/ip link over usb, as can be done in linux.  Is this supported?

Thanks,
Brian Toovey

Check openbsd.org/zaurus.html for a list of supported USB 802.11 adapters.

If you mean by using a usb cable to connect your z to your pc then no (see https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15030) If you have your host cable, you can use a usb network card (either wireless or ethernet). I use a linksys usb200m and it works great. I use scp to get files back and forth and ssh into the zaurus when I don't feel like usin the keyboard, etc.
