wireless USB support ?  
I can't tell from our docs - is there support any wireless USB devices ?
I have a customer that wants to use one in their design and is looking for recommendations

Thanks

Dave
RE: wireless USB support ?  
We support rum and ural (please check document on devnp-rum.so and
devnp-ural.so for detail information.) Robert once suggested Linksys
WUSB-54GC usb dongle which uses rum driver and this one also looks good
(if we can't exactly sure better than others) to me. 

Thanks
Weijie

RE: wireless USB support ?  
This page talks about drivers from a generic point of view:

http://community.qnx.com/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.networking/wiki/Dr
ivers_wiki_page

(I just updated it to add a bit more information about the chipsets).

As is usual with the USB dongles, one has to be very careful about
making recommendations.  We recently recommended the Linksys WUSB-54GC
(uses the RUM driver) to someone.  It turns out that there is now a
WUSB-54GCV3 and it contains a completely different Ralink chipset for
which there is no driver.

Re: wireless USB support ?  
Thanks for the warning and the pointer !

Can you list a known good device that works with devnp-ural.so ?
How about a resource that lists which devices are known to use the 
supported chipsets ?

Thanks

Dave

RE: wireless USB support ?  
I've had less luck with the URAL driver.  The one that I have that is
known to work is one manufactured by Buffalo Wireless and they've
currently got an injunction against them that prevents them from
shipping new devices.  This is related to a patent infringement law
suite (being raised by CSIRO in Australia) that is expected to shake up
all WiFi parts vendors (see
http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/04/02/2242204).  This is one
reason why we did the port for the Linksys device (Cisco / Linksys,
apparently, has paid for the licensing so they're OK).

In any case, while the ported source code includes references to a
number of devices, most of these would not have been tested internally.


	Robert.

Re: wireless USB support ?  
Please go through this page.
You will find all devices which has Ralink chipset.

https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Ralink

Hard to find supporting devices.
I want to transfer file from QNX to Windows pc.
Anybody have idea how to deal with it?
