Omnifi Wireless Adapters



My favorite feature of the Omnifi products is WiFi via USB.
However, there are currently only 2 published "officially 
supported" wireless adapters.  Because the Omnifi products
are basically small computers with USB ports running a 
linux 2.4 kernel, other adapters that use the same chipset
should work just fine.  It looks like the latest firmware
builds from Omnifi support the Intersil Prism 2/2.5/3 WiFi
chipsets.  


I've heard people talking about 802.11G adapters for Omnifi but I have yet to understand why... The Omnifi DMS1 & DMP1 have a USB 1.1 host controller that has a max throughput of 12 Mbps. The only advantage I can see to having an 802.11G adapter on a DMP1/DMS1 would be to prevent the 54G wireless network from slowing down because it is taking to both B & G clients.

Officially Supported Adapters:
D-Link DWL-121 (Omnifi Specific)
D-Link DWL-120R


OTHER wireless adapters known to work:
D-Link DWL-122
SpeedStream SS1022

Many other adapters may work. Check out this USB/Prism chart. Additionally, you can view the full WLAN chart here. Anything that is USB and says "Prism 2/2.5/3" should work.
