Currently it works only with a PCI or PCMCIA card, not USB, with a Ralink 2500 series chipset.

Repeat: USB Wi-Fi cards do not work for WMB.


I bought a USB one too. Didn't have a problem returning it though.

Keep it. If you get the DS booted any other way (passme, passme2, nopass), then you can use it for the HTTP-based .nds loader that someone's bound to develop.

That could be quite the wait, the WiFi lib would have to support Ad-Hoc for that (unless you can find soft AP drivers for it).

Of course, you could connect the DS to the computer though an existing WiFi AP/switch, but if he had that, he wouldn't need the USB WLAN adapter in the first place.
