Hi, I am developing software for Amstrad E3 (Delta), an ARM OMAP based videophone. The machine is not a new design and has no network adapter on board, but forunately it has USB port. I have no problems connecting it to a wired network using an Ethernet dongle. However, trying to use a wireless USB adapter, I have hardware issues. I suspect it is USB power consumption that matters (the port was designed for connecting a printer). My wireless adapter is rt73 based, lsusb -v shows MaxPower 300mA. The wired adapter that works for me shows MaxPower of 144mA. Rather that using an external powered USB hub, I'd like to find a wireless adapter that is supposed to consume less than 300mA (while not in idle :-)). However, hardware vendors seem to not publish such information at all. I'm sure that many of you, wireless developers, have a few different USB adapters on hand. I'd be glad if you could have a look at them and give me information on power consumption of your device as shown by lsusb if less than 300mA. Thanks, Janusz PS. Sorry for abusing a developer list. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
