With CF card image 3.x we introduced support for various WLAN USB sticks. Successfully tested sticks 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.
- Static: Set a static IP address for the wireless interface wlan0
- New settings will be directly written to /etc/network/interfaces so that the new settings are also available after reboot. After writing the settings the interface is restarted to make the new settings take effect immediately.
- DHCP: Configure the interface to query its setting from a DHCP server.
