zzsprade Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I am considering a new small min ITX build for a 2nd Unraid NAS. As such the sole PCI space will likely be taken up for a great number of HDDs. In order to have an alternative access to the Unraid NAS (when the Ethernet is disconnected), I was hoping to utilise a USB wifi dongle. I am hoping not to have to utilised the PCI for a wifi card. Has anyone successfully achieved this? I did a quick search on the forums and the hardware compatibility without much luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Alex Quote Link to comment
Johnm Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 unraid does not support wifi. Wired only.. that said, you can hook a wifi bridge to your ethernet port and go wireless that way.. Quote Link to comment

tokra Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 unraid does not support wifi. Wired only.. that said, you can hook a wifi bridge to your ethernet port and go wireless that way.. Why Slackware based Linux does not support Wireless adapter module ? I do not understand, is that any reason for it ? Quote Link to comment

Why Slackware based Linux does not support Wireless adapter module ? I do not understand, is that any reason for it ? IMHO, and as I see it... unRAID is not full Slackware distro. Moreover, even the kernel used in unRAID is very minimalistic - most of the drivers needed to support this and that are simply not included. And there is a very valid reason for this minimalism: unRAID is NAS-like product. Any deviation from this model would be a different product. Quote Link to comment
