Wifi wlan concern #101

Closed mrsstaceyseigle closed 4 years ago

mrsstaceyseigle commented 4 years ago

I am planning on using a raspberry pi compute module 3 and a custom IO pcb board. The IO does not have built it wifi or Ethernet support. I play to use a usb wifi adapter and its the only wlan network interface. Should I have any problems with your software seeing and using the usb wifi adapter as default wlan device. I also play to use a usb Ethernet as well

It will work, if the USB Wifi adapter and associated driver support Access Point mode. Most do not.

My latest go-to adapter is this guy.

I'd make sure that there is an entry in /etc/network/interfaces for the Ethernet device, with an appropriate configuration.

Great. The adapter that you are referring do it support the access point mode needed for your software
