    DM800 No WLAN option in network

    Image is : Newnigma2 v3.2.1 2011-05-04

    Thought of getting a wlan adapter but there doesn't seem to be such an option in network settings like the image below, anyone?

    Usually they only show the WLAN option when a valid Wireless dongle is inserted. It loads the driver when the box boots, if it has the driver installed.

      I see.. Any idea if newenigma2 has native WLAN support?

        I would think so, but not every driver - there are 100's.

        I've seen RT73 and RT2870 drivers available to manually instal if needed

          So the WLAN option would only show up after the dongle is inserted? Can you or someone else who has actually tried it confirm? Thanks..

            confirm
            must have driver installed to recognize at boot
