    Hello Selsinork (a great name, by the way) Thanks for the response. I guess others share my frustration. You are correct - it definitely needs an easy-to-install SD image for those who like me don't have…

    In fact, not reactive support, no wifi, no possibility to install applications easily, so this card is useless !!!

    You have not indicated enough information to have your question answered.

     

    This is a development board, meaning it is expected to be used by developers. Sending out an extremely general question demanding a very specific answer, and then signing off with "it's useless" 3 days later is not going to get you anywhere.

     

    Your question should be along the lines of:

     

    Which WiFi adapters can I expect to get working with riotboard on OS xxx, or

    I have wifi adapter X, what do I need to do to get it working on OS xxx, or

    Is their a site or Howto for WiFi on the Riotboard.

    Slight problem there. People are generally comming to these boards from the perspective of the RPi or BBB, or in other words as users. From a users point of view the answers to the questions as you frame them are all rather negative today.  Not everyone is a kernel developer capable of writing a missing driver, or even wants to be.

     

    So far we seem to be in self-help mode, so if you have answers to those questions or maybe have written a howto then I'm sure Vincent and others here would be interested.
