[R2B2][netvm] Can't connect to Internet with USB Wifi Adapter

[Brandon Giesing]

I have a Desktop computer that is impossible to connect to Ethernet cause their is no line in my room. I have two USB Internet Adapters. One is a NETGEAR WG111v3, the Other is a Linksys Adapter that doesn't work under Linux.

On my Desktop the netvm doesn't show it is connected to the NETGEAR and in the USB connection menu on the GUI manager the adapter doesn't show up.

On the Network Selection Menu, It only shows Ethernet.

Is their anyway I can connect to the internet without Ethernet?

(By the way, I am using it on my CR-48 and it works cause it has a bulit-in WiFi chip.)

USB devices (currently) can be connected to netvm only with whole USB controller:

I have done this a while ago. I had to open my PC and unplug one of the internal USB cables and plug it into another socket on the motherboard, so that it would be connected to the second USB controller.

Well, I first tried it without doing that, but then netvm not dom0 owned my USB mouse and keyboard, so I had no input devices and no way to control the computer :)
