Cheap, compact wifi adapter for MonoBrick

[Matthew Lawson]

I’ve discovered another wifi dongle that works very well with MonoBrick. It’s sold at adafruit for around (at time of posting) $12, and works out of the box very reliably. I bought one of these to use with a Raspberry Pi, and on a whim gave it a shot with MonoBrick, and the magic happened! It’s pretty generic, but it looks like it uses a Realtek chipset.

Super tiny, and uses very little power, being as it’s designed to run off the Pi’s anemic USB bus power.

Hi Matthew

Thanks for the update. So far we have tested it on

NetGear WNA1100. Buy at Amazon.

Edimax EW-7811UN
Buy at Amazon

In general I would expect that most of the adapters that work for with Raspberry Pi also works with the MonoBrick firmware.
