Is there an USB wifi card that can still be bought in reasonable ammount (like 1000 pieces) and is well supported by Linux? So far I tried carl9170 (as seen by previous mails) and rt2x00usb. carl9170 is not really usable; rt2x00usb works a bit better, but also fails after some time: phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset. phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x06 failed for offset. phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset. phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x06 failed for offset. phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset. phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x06 failed for offset. phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset. ... phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset. usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 3 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 4 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 5 usb 1-1: device not accepting address 5, error -62 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 6 usb 1-1: device not accepting address 6, error -62 hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 7 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 8 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 9 usb 1-1: device not accepting address 9, error -62 usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ppc-of-ohci and address 10 usb 1-1: device not accepting address 10, error -62 hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 (is that failing firmware?)
