[TriLUG] USB Wifi NIC Recommendations?

[Shane O'Donnell]

That's what I found odd.  I'm sure this NIC _could_ work, since it does on
my Tivo, but it's not being auto-recognized.  Perhaps my expectations are
too high?

I'm trying to get a USB Wifi NIC to work with negligible effort here...

I'd look for the list of TiVo supported USB NICs.  They're certain to
have kernel support.
