Most of my transceivers are connected to Pi's. So it goes down to embedded. I'm in the lucky position though to have two ATUSB dongles which are simple USB dongles and get connected to your x86 systems with ease. They work out of the box in mainline since 4.1 and the firmware is open source as well. The problem right now is that it is now longer being sold. We are working on changing this though. See my mail from a few minutes ago to this list about interest for a new ATUSB production batch. Right now we would estimate them being on sale again sometime in October (the smaller fabs we are using for SMT is on holiday and we also need to prepare things in our spare time). If this is to far away, fair enough. If it does not really matter to you and you would have an interest to use them please let me know so I can better estimate the needed number of devices for the batch. regards Stefan Schmidt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
