Hi,
I just started to write down wifi cards known as working with RaspberryPI in AccesPoint mode.
piratebox.aod-rpg.de - Raspberry wifi
Comment about that here.

Hello Mathias - It worked great with a Widemac USB 2.0 150 MBps 801.11N adapter. This adapter has the Ralink rt3270 chip. However, for your 2012-12-16 version of Raspian with Piratebox, I had to change the hostapd.conf file under /opt/piratebox/conf to the following:
interface=wlan0
#driver=nl80211
ssid=piratebox: free share
hw_mode=g
channel=1
auth_algs=1
wmm_enabled=0
#ieee80211n=1
Although I have to admit that I don't know if all of the above options/disabled options are necessary. But with this changed configuration file, it works fine.
Thanks so much!
Mark

Later found out that the Widemac works fine without making changes to the hostapd.conf file. The reason for my confusion is because of the wlan ip address issue that causes the pirate box to work about half the time it is started up. Piratebox worked after making the changes to hostapd.conf but it turned out to be the somewhat random behavior of getting an ip address or not during startup.
Also, sorry for the typos in my preceding posting - it is an 802.11N adapter (not 801.11N) and the chipset is rt5370. The thing that attracted me to the usb adapter is the price - about 7 US dollars at Amazon (of course it varies depending on availability and the market). It seems to work fine without a usb hub.
Thanks,
Mark

Can you please post the exact name or an amazon link.

The one I got has the following name at Amazon:
"USB 802.11n 150m Wifi Wireless Lan Network Card Adapter"
The packaging doesn't identify a model number. A search in Amazon for "usb adapter rt5370" will bring up some related products - some with an external antenna. Another example of the same adapter but from a different supplier that describes the specs in more detail is:
"Ralink RT5370 Wifi Network Adapter Black USB 2.0 802.11n 150M WiFi Wireless Lan Network Card Adapter SL-1507N hot"
Thanks - will try your fix to the ip address issue soon.

Just wanted to thank you guys for putting alot of time into this project. Ive been working on a piratebox project
for a about a month already, bricked a tp-link 3220 and succesfully installed PirateBox on my pc work under
ubuntu 13.04. ill post my laptop specs when i get to my room and i also wanted to post a USB Dongle that works.
TENDA W541U V2.0
im currently in afghahnistan and set up a moral harddrive under piratebox: share freely and share this with about
34 people. Im still trying to figure out the whole Kahera board thing. I also ordered a AWUS036NH to cover the
entire 60 foot long tent i sleep in, the last guy stream video at 90kb/s (not bad)
Thank you in advance

Got the TL-WN722N to work. The issue was the BELKING F5U237 USB HUB i bought. it appear the TL-WN722N doesnt like the
power supply the HUB come with but, the TL-WN722N works fine with the HUB and no power supply. Ill post the LSUSB later after work so you can take a look at it for future reference, and any other info you would like to see.

currently toying with a TL-WN822N
"TL-WN822N v2 (ath9k_htc) works on ArchLinuxARM, with powered USB Hub. Successfully tested hostapd/dnsmasq." is what the rpi verified periferals says.
Currently the rpi can see it and has an ip assigned in "ifconfig" but no ssid at the moment.
It is listed in LSUSB and will hopefully get it working later on.

I got the TL-WN725N USB-stub to work, with a few edits.
From these instructions, steps 5 and 6 only:
[www.raspberrypi.org]
..rebuild the binary for hostapd, then change the "driver=" line in /opt/piratebox/conf/hostapd.conf to the specified driver.
Works fine after that; main challenge I'm facing now is changing to USB storage to avoid r/w wear and storage limits on the sd card..

Hi guys,
I'm completely new to this and as a student I'm pretty strapped for cash. Could anyone point me to the best priced USB wifi that will give me the ap capability that's needed without any editing of any files?
Also is host pad already installed on the raspberry pi image that's this site supplies?
Thanks for your time

The LB-Link BL-LW05AR5 (as seen on [www.adafruit.com]) is not compatible with the Arch Linux distribution. However, I do have the drivers. But also have no Arch Linux compiling experience.
