Re: usb wifi sticks / realtek8180.device development

I've always found USB wireless to be really reliable. Something to do with WiFi settings or wirking with a particular router perhaps? My router is a Netgear and I use manual settings for gateway and IP address and that seems to work well.

Cheers,
Nigel.

That's basically correct. There are other models that use the same driver, but I wouldn't expect them to perform much differently to the WG111v3.

As the author of realtek8180.device, I'm not happy with the reliability of it either, but I couldn't figure out its problems. I suspect the USB layer could be at fault: perhaps USB support on hosted could be helpful in debugging. Is USB on hosted usable now?

Home away from home

hi all,

as far as I know the "netgear wg111 v3" usb wifi stick is the only one that's supported by AROS, and the device driver is "realtek8180.device" - is that correct?

I've been using this combination for quite some time now, and I get the feeling that it's VERY unreliable.

if anyone is working on that device driver* I'd be happy to help with testing.

EDIT:
*) ...or whatever may be the reason for unreliability... WirelessManager?
