Anyone have a recommendation of a wireless USB device that they've successfully used with the barebones fanless from DSL? I saw a couple of USBs on the verified list, and my guess is they'd be fine, but they're not available anymore, it doesn't seem, so I thought I'd ask...

The Level One wifi nic (which I just now added to the verified list) is available at Newegg, but the effort is considerable.  I had to download the kernel source that matches the same version that's on DSL (2.4.26), compile the kernel on a linux machine that has a compiler, and then compile the driver using header files that are generated by the kernel build process.  Once I had a binary module, it could then be loaded on a DSL machine.

I'm glad I got it running.  The NIC was 99 cents after MIR a couple weeks ago!
