From: "Wayne linuxtwo on 16 Dec 2009 19:50 As the subject says I need a USB adapter that works on Debian and supports wpa-supplicant. We are finally able to get a fate network connect here in the mountains, using a Verizon MiFi2200 connection. The only problem is that all of my USB Wireless adapters are to old and don't work with wpa. A google search did not help too much. It looks like 'maybe' a Netgear WNDA3100 or a Netgear WN111v2 would be what I want but I don't want to get either one until I know that someone is using it on Debian. Thanks in advance for any/all replies. Wayne -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster(a)lists.debian.org

I have an AZiO AWU254 (Ver: 1.0) adapter. From lsusb: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter As you can see, it uses a Ralink chipset, and it is supported by the in-kernel Ralink driver (rt73usb - non-free firmware, in package firmware-ralink, required). I just tested it with an AP running WPA-PSK, and it works fine. Mine looks like this one: http://www.handhelditems.com/azio-80211g-54mbps-wireless-adapter-p-38837.html but I have no idea if they're still using the same chipset ... The page only mentions WEP, and (of course) doesn't say anything about linux, but I don't know if the info is reliable. Caveat emptor.

As I have not done the WPA before, I may have a few questions for you when I find one. Many, Many Thanks!
