USB WiFi dongle for DreamPi - any advice?

[lozz]

Hi all,

I've been happily playing my Dreamcast online using a DreamPi that is connected to my router via ethernet. However, following a house move, I'll now need to connect the DreamPi via WiFi. The only problem is that my DreamPi is an older unit that doesn't have WiFi built-in. Therefore, I'm going to need to buy a USB WiFi dongle.

Does anyone here happen to know if there is anything specific I should be looking for, or that I should avoid, when getting a WiFi dongle for my Pi? I am pretty clueless when it comes to these things, and am hoping that I can get something I can just plug-in and configure easily.

I'm in the UK. Any advice or tips would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Lozz

You pretty much just need it to be compatible with Linux natively. Canakit makes one that's designed for pi if you don't know what to get.

Thanks for advice. I've ordered one available in the UK that matches those specs. Fingers crossed I'll get it up and running.
