With CF card image 3.x we introduced support for various WLAN USB sticks. Successfully tested stcisk are:

  • AVM Fritz!WLAN USB Stick N (support for a/b/g/n)
  • Alfa AWUS036EW USB WLAN Stick (support for b/g)
  • Alfa AWUS036H USB WLAN (support for b/g)

With API2 we also added support for setting up WLAN configuration through Robotino's display.
