***Nerd Update***
Raspberry Pi Update #1
I picked up an el cheapo 4 port usb hub from K Mart tonight for $10, and you can externally power it as well as it has a power input socket, doesn't come with a wallwart but at $10 I don't care as I have oodles of wallwarts lying around.
Im using Sony PSU that came with my PSP.
Works ok, but back feeds the Pi which is not ideal.
So far Ive tried out a Billion branded USB WiFi dongle and it works fine, reports as a Realtek chipset. Easy to setup and get going, Raspbian saw it on boot.
Tomorrow Ill try out a Netgear and a D-Link one as well.
