Does the SABRE Lite also support integrated Wifi ?

Hi Fatima,

As said Selsinork, here's the link to the USB dongle wifi : element14: WiFi USB Dongle for Multiple Development Platforms

The comments on that page for the WiPi make for interesting reading...

Doesn't seem to matter how you do it, integrated, usb, pci.... wifi always makes for an interesting adventure unless your OS is x86 32bit Windows

yes comments sections for WiPi are really discouraging....

anyone aware of a usb wi fi dongle that works with sabre lite for sure

Unfortunately it's not an easy question to answer.

http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters has some useful information. However it's complicated by manufacturers who routinely change the chipset inside an adapter without changing the model number.. Also, as lots of these sorts of devices need a firmware blob of some type it can depend on whether your distro included all of the files, has outdated versions, or perhaps even requires you to know the chipset in the adapter and install a specific package that usually doesn't match the label on the outside of the device.

For example, I'm using a TP-Link TL-WN821N on my SL without problems, but there are at least four different versions (mine is v4.2 with a RTL8192CU chipset) covering at least three different drivers.  So it's difficult to know until you plug it in and test it whether it'll work or not.
