Yes but you probably need a powered USB hub for that one.

RE: 300mbps wlan adapter RTL8191SU
Have you been able to verify if this works?? I have been fighting with this http://www.trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=200_TEW-649UB but I cannot get it to work.
Ninja edit: it is also using the RTL8191SU chipset. |

RE: 300mbps wlan adapter RTL8191SU
Can you try this:
Code: sud su #default password = raspberry The output of the dmesg command should look something like this Code: r8712u: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. If yes, the firmware is now working and you can setup your wireless in xbian-config. Please read rules and do a search before you post! . FAQs . How to post log file? . Looking for answers?

You cannot simply download modules from the internet because the kernel versions must be the same (you could have tested this yourself). If you can provide me with the source of the module i will compile it.

The 8712 module has been present in the kernel for the past 2 weeks as you can see here:
https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/tree/xbian-beta1/lib/modules/3.6.11%2B/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8712 Just run: Code: sudo modprobe r8712u @Koenkk, if you're looking for a module just search in this file: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/blob/xbian-beta1/lib/modules/3.6.11%2B/modules.dep pilight - modular domotica solution

Keep in mind 300mbps adapters are quite useless on the pi as the usb interface on the pi is only 100mbps.

RE: 300mbps wlan adapter RTL8191SU
That makes sense. Is the only solution to buy a new dongle?

RE: 300mbps wlan adapter RTL8191SU
I was asking in this thread http://forum.xbian.org/thread-590-page-3.html. I can't seem to stay connected to my available networks.

I don't know what the exact problem is. But basically the Edimax ew-7811UN is just THE dongle for the pi.
