<ul></ul><p>This looks very useful: <a class="external" href="http://blog.linuxconsulting.ro/2010/04/porting-wifi-drivers-to-android.html">http://blog.linuxconsulting.ro/2010/04/porting-wifi-drivers-to-android.html</a>. I already got one idea from that blog post: as the thing works like that you supply wpa_supplicant some wifi driver (in i9300/5 case it is currently NL80211) so let's make a driver that combines all usb wifi drivers to one. I will try to come with other ideas before I'm going to try make that kernel driver because a) I'm not good kernel coder and b) it might be be a bad way to implement this.</p>

<p>Belgin said in the replicant irc channel that a response to these emails will be coming soon.</p> Replicant - Issue #1801: Make Replicant be able to use external Wii dongles from the settings UIhttps://redmine.replicant.us/issues/1801?journal_id=75752019-09-10T23:16:09ZKurtis HannaKurtis@riseup.net

<p>I just tested it on my n7100 and WiFi worked as described.</p> Replicant - Issue #1801: Make Replicant be able to use external Wii dongles from the settings UIhttps://redmine.replicant.us/issues/1801?journal_id=75842019-09-17T18:50:06ZKurtis HannaKurtis@riseup.net
<ul></ul><p>A review of this patch on the #replicant irc said, "it seems quite sensitive to the WiFi card being physically bumped, and recovery from this condition is rather slow and unreliable.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if maybe there's some kind of polling frequency that could be increased, in order to make recovery from a physically jostled wifi card happen quicker, but that might be a potential area of improvement for a follow-up patch.</p>
<p>I'm relatively confident that the connection dropped due to a physically-induced USB fault of some kind. To be clear, when this happened, the Android UI stopped permitting me to "enable" wifi for many seconds. So it's not the same issue as when a wifi network drops."</p> Replicant - Issue #1801: Make Replicant be able to use external Wii dongles from the settings UIhttps://redmine.replicant.us/issues/1801?journal_id=75872019-09-19T04:11:08ZKurtis HannaKurtis@riseup.net
