Re: Nintendo WII: is wifi supported?

Thanks a lot Jared.

I am now using a USB Wi-Fi adapter (TL-WN823N v3) and it works.
However, the connection is lost occasionally, especially when
transferring large files. I need to restart wpa_supplicant manually to
re-connect. The disconnections happen much more frequently in one of
the USB ports. Is this a known problem?

Thanks again,
Noe.
